QB64 in WSL2

[Kernelpanic]

How to install QB64 for Linux on WSL2? Installed is openSuSE 15.3

Zypper install qb64-lnx.tar.gz did not work.
Thanks.

That's not something we test, so at the moment there no known way to make it work. That said if be curious to hear what kind of issues you ran into.

The installation script doesn't find a distro, that's the problem - I think. I will try once again with Yast.

Yeah I guess that makes sense, we don't have OpenSUSE detection in the script. That said it really doesn't prevent you from using QB64, you just need to install the packages for the dependencies it lists. The error you're seeing indicates that OpenGL is not installed, probably indicating you don't have graphics support (which QB64 does require). How you get that working with WSL2 I'm not sure as I haven't ever done it, but my understanding is that it is possible.

You also don't necessarily need graphics _working_, you just need the libraries installed. You could probably then get away with using the

-x

parameter to compile your programs, which might work even without graphics support.
