How can I get WSL to run in a window on Windows GUI Emacs?
The only way I can do it so far is to enter a subshell in either emacs shell or term cmd by entering the wsl command, and even then, there is no background ANSI coloring, though the foreground coloring appears to be working.
The following is an attempt at directly spawning a wsl.exe child process.
(if (eq system-type 'windows-nt)
(setq explicit-shell-file-name "C:\\Windows\\System32\\wsl.exe")
(defun run-wsl ()
(interactive)
(let ((shell-file-name "C:\\Windows\\System32\\wsl.exe"))
(ansi-term "*wsl.exe*"))))
Error message under mode bar: Spawning child process: Invalid argument
Note:
I am asking how to get WSL in Emacs, not Emacs in WSL.
