Solved. When running vglcygsetup to install VirtualGL package, the setup is configured to install from Local Directory, so its dependencies were not found (libgl1,libglu...) so installation failed. I manually installed dependent packages from internet and virtualgl can be succesfully installed.
For vglconnect to work, I also need to install openssh so that cygwin will not use the default window ssh (from WSL). Also, 'start xterm' refers to installing xinit pacakge and run 'startxwin' in cygwin bash. Just put all the pieces and bits here so they would probably be useful for someone with the same question. Also, please consider updating the document to make it easier for us to install and use VirtualGL. Thank you! On Thursday, April 18, 2019 at 5:03:08 PM UTC-7, marcus wrote: > > Okay.
