Running Mathematica inside the Subsystem of the Win 10 (WSL)

Question

There is no problem when installing the Mathematica inside the WSL. But there are several problems when launch mathematica in the shell. It displays:

libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci
lspci: Cannot find any working access method.
/usr/local/Wolfram/Mathematica/10.0/SystemFiles/Kernel/Binaries/Linux-x86-64/MathKernel: error while loading shared libraries: libippcc.so.8.1: cannot enable executable stack as shared object requires: Invalid argument

Does anyone have the experience of running mathematica successfully in the WSL? 
And how should I solve the shared libraries problem? (libippcc.so.8.1 does inside the Libraries directory of the mathematica, and also export the LD_LIBRARY_PATH does not help.)

Thanks very much

I know some have gotten the kernel running, but it requires setting up a few environment variables ahead of time.  As for the FrontEnd, it is not currently supported.

Can I run ALL Linux apps in WSL?
No! WSL is a tool aimed at enabling users who need them to run Bash and core Linux command-line tools on Windows. 
WSL does not aim to support GUI desktops or applications (e.g. Gnome, KDE, etc.)
