Let’s try building something from source in Windows Subsystem for Linux..

\sudo  \apt  install  \
  dh-autoreconf  \

./autogen.sh
./configure

• I couldn’t figure out how to get Python working; it just errors out instead of continuing like it ought to. python-dev and python3-dev are both installed.

  • --disable-python doesn’t work.

• FIXME – Perl

./configure: line 23133: `        PKG_CHECK_MODULES(PYTHON, python2, PYTHON_FOUND=yes; PYTHON_VERSION=`$PKGCONFIG --modversion python2`, PYTHON_FOUND=no)'
/weechat-3.1.tar/weechat-3.1

Fucked if I know.
