I did enable Bash/Ubuntu subsystem on my Windows 10 laptop a couple of weeks ago. Inside the Bash shell you get a Linux environment that works and feels like an Ubuntu Linux environment (for the most part, try "ip route" for example ;-) ) , commands, apt-get, the file system, etc. I was able to build Unicon using the x86_64_linux configuration without any issues, and it worked just fine. If you want graphics you have to install an X server like xming, but even then, I couldn't get a Unicon graphical application to work. There were some errors, but I didn't try to debug those.
I was hoping that Bash would give us an easy option to build Unicon Windows binaries without having to worry about mingw/libraries, but that is not that case. Bash on Windows is its own world, and any binaries produced within that environment can (only?) run in a similar environment. Still, it is an option for people who want to build from sources on Windows without worrying about mingw and getting the extra libraries. You still have to install Bash on windows though, but that is just a matter of turning the feature on via Windows settings. Cheers, Jafar On Fri, Aug 26, 2016 at 8:14 AM Richard H.
