# - the first attempt fails but creates emacs-module.h, the second attempt succeedes | |
# - since WSL has problems with fakeroot daemon, use sudo (-rsudo) instead | |

# cleanup (be careful, better save emacs-lucid_26.1+1-3.2+deb10u1_amd64.deb first) | |
cd .. | |
rm -rf TEMPDIR | |
# run emacs | |
# - alternatively create a start menu shortcut with: C:\Windows\System32\wsl.exe env DISPLAY=:0 emacsclient -n -c -a "" | |
emacsclient -n -c -a "" | |
# notes | |
# - emacs-lucid behaves better than emacs-gtk when run in server-mode and X11 crashes (happens on Windows) | |
# - as X11-server try MobaXTerm in "Multiwindow mode" with DPI set to "auto" in X11 preferences |
