another ugly duckling is joining the family: it turns out that Umfeld runs (almost) out-of-the box when installing Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04 in Windows Subsytem Linux (WSL).

thanks to mustafa we now know that before installing Umfeld we need to prepare some packages as stated in this post SDL3/README-linux - SDL Wiki i.e:

sudo apt-get install build-essential git make \
pkg-config cmake ninja-build gnome-desktop-testing libasound2-dev libpulse-dev \
libaudio-dev libfribidi-dev libjack-dev libsndio-dev libx11-dev libxext-dev \
libxrandr-dev libxcursor-dev libxfixes-dev libxi-dev libxss-dev libxtst-dev \
libxkbcommon-dev libdrm-dev libgbm-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libgles2-mesa-dev \
libegl1-mesa-dev libdbus-1-dev libibus-1.0-dev libudev-dev \
libpipewire-0.3-dev libwayland-dev libdecor-0-dev liburing-dev

it s a bit weird that this is not required on real Ubuntu installs … but hej. i might just look into the package list to fix this in the future … on the other hand … well it s still Windows.
