Price confusion / Where are the binaries? #173
Comments
Hi, Yep sorry about that. I was updating GWSL over my winter break and ran out of time before I could make the GitHub version. Because of this (and because I haven't changed the site yet), there is the discrepancy. I have not discontinued the GitHub version but do not have the resources at the moment :( . I hesitate to edit the website since it is still FOSS and for now simply have the release pointing to the store. When I have more time I will try to figure this out... Paul |
Ok, I temporarily edited the readme to explain 👍 |
Connected to this: I don't mind paying, but it would be great if there would be another way to get the binaries than the Windows Store alone. I am trying to run GWSL on my just-trying-stuff Windows 2022 Server, and there I do not have access to the Windows Store. As a gap-filler for now, if I do a paypal donation of slightly more than a coffee and significantly less than a Tesla CyberTruck, could you mail me the most recent binaries? |
Haha yeah I can do that. Just email the email on the GWSL website :). I have to go dig up a recent version though. It will not be the most recent but still ok |
Hi @Pololot64 , and thanks a lot for this app! |
No :/ extremely busy at school @serpro69 If you don't have store access like mentioned above, feel free to email me though. |
I see. Thanks for the quick answer anyways :) |
The 1.4.5 build is mostly theming changes and bug fixes so if you don't notice anything you should be fine tbh. |
Related to this, I was able to build the binaries myself, getting the "dist" directory, with a bunch of stuff underneath it. Running GWSL.exe seems to do what I want. But, I don't see any kind of installer. So how do I correctly install this after the build? |
Just put the folder anywhere. There will not be any difference to actually installing it. |
if you dont mind, can you send me the installer ? |
I personally don't mind, but I'm not sure that I can share it (thinking about license etc) since it's not openly available anymore. I think your best option is to compile it yourself, or wait for the maintainers to fix this. Sorry. |
Just noting be careful sharing binaries around. It is safer to build yourself. |
thanks for your reply. i have to build my self but some feature is not working |
i was, but somehow i dont know exactly why i failed to build this |
Did you install all the libraries and run build.py? I can help with building it. |
What file in what folder did you run? There are several folders made in /dist |
./build.py, tried running all 3 of the GWSL.exe's |
fixed after uncommenting --hidden-import=pkg_resources.py2_warn in build.py |
Cool |
You now need to go into the configuration and set acrylic_enabled to false. HDR breaks things for some reason. |
Have you themed your shell at all? (bash or zsh) |
I'm using zsh, but i was doing it from more shell option. It also doesnt work |
Hmm... can you post what your shell profile file looks like? (only the end) |
You can probably add the export code manually. |
add it in the zsh ? if so, i have added it manually and repeat the proccess but still, i cant enable |
i remember something that i was change the resolv.conf. why ? becasuse i while i using vpn wsl cant have access internet. so my resolv.conf right now is like this : nameserver 8.8.8.8 |
I am not sure. I know VPN's have messed things up in the past |
Can you post a link? |
Sorry, I don't have any links. You'll need to build it from source or wait for the author to resolve this issue. |
I recommend building it from the source since I won't have the infrastructure to make any new builds any time soon (I'm a student). Otherwise, there were only a few changes in the latest version. You won't miss much staying with 1.4.0. |

but those releases don't contain binaries, and again just link to the Windows Store.
GWSL is great and I don't mind having paid for it on the Windows Store, but I'm confused by these discrepancies.
