Re: Help on building GNU BG on Windows 10

Hi Øystein,

Yes! Exactly what I want. Can you give more details on WSL 2? Where can I find more instructions?

Thank you!

Hi Turker!

If you just want the CLI of gnubg on Windows 10, maybe you can use WSL 2? It works pretty well, and I cannot imagine that GNU Backgammon will not be able to compile under WSL 2.

By the way, I am not interested in the graphics or board: just want to see how the engine works. Is there a way to disable the graphics compilation so that I can generate the gnubg-cli version only?

Unfortunately, there is no headless version of GnuBG.

Cheers,
