I'm using Win10 with Xming and it fails to start from WSL (Ubuntu 20.04).

andriy@cobalt:~$ go get -u -tags 'duitdraw mux9p' github.com/rjkroege/edwood
andriy@cobalt:~$ go/bin/edwood
XGB: conn.go:47: Could not get authority info: open /home/andriy/.Xauthority: no such file or directory
XGB: conn.go:48: Trying connection without authority info...
shiny: NewWindow error: x11driver: no matching Visualid
duitdraw: x11driver: no matching Visualid

Other X11 programs (e.g. xclock) do work however.

I don't run the duitdraw backend myself. But: I thought duitdraw had a native Windows backend. Did you try that?

@fhs Have you run with duitdraw on windows? Do you have any helpful comments?

fhs commented

I've tested Edwood on Windows natively, not using WSL.

Maybe the Xauthority file needs to be set up.
