WSL - eg Linux port?

Open alanfluff opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

Sorry if opening an Issue here is an inappropriate way to ask this :/

I lOVED clamp on OSX, but now use Windows 10.

I've installedWSL and wondered, given WSL is just Linux, if there was a way I can use clamp on Linux, as opposed to OSX?

It'd be brilliant.

Happy to test, or help if my v.limited knowledge can be of any help.

Cheers, and continued thanks for this superb project.

It's definitely technically possible.

With the current config files, we refer to Homebrew so that could be problematic.

Ideally the config files would only optionally specify the paths to the required binaries and they'd be found on PATH by default.

Wow, that sounds less far fetched and do-able than I'd imagined. Thanks for the suggestion.

I installed Homebrew on WSL but have not gone further.

Is there value in me doing more, if so, any ideas on specifics I should try?

Thanks tons, Clamp on linux would be huge.
