There have been some threads here about using WSL to use and develop Gnucash. I wanted to report back on my experience.
For the last few months, I have been using WSLg (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/tutorials/gui-apps) to build Gnucash from maint and use it everyday for tracking my personal finances. This allows me to observe build breaks and I can ensure that Clang toolchain works without any issues. Pros: - My experience of building and using Gnucash is as straightforward as it can get. When there was a build break and I had some time, I was able to send a PR. - VS Code works well with source and binary on WSL. I use that for my day job where I develop for Windows and Linux. - If and when I have time, I can contribute which might be far less than what I hoped. ☹ Cons: - WSLg doesn't build Windows binaries; Gnucash has to build Windows binaries for Windows users. - WSLg is only available on Windows 11. - WSLg is part of developer environment which might limit usage.
