- With Windows 10, Microsoft has released a new feature named the [ Windows
22
- Subsystem for Linux (WSL)] ( https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/wsl/about ) . This
23
- feature allows you to run a bash shell directly on Windows in an Ubuntu-based
24
- environment. Within this environment you can cross compile for Windows without
25
- the need for a separate Linux VM or server. Note that while WSL can be installed with
26
- other Linux variants, such as OpenSUSE, the following instructions have only been
27
- tested with Ubuntu.
28
-
29
- This feature is not supported in versions of Windows prior to Windows 10 or on
30
- Windows Server SKUs. In addition, it is available [ only for 64-bit versions of
31
- Windows] ( https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/wsl/install-win10 ) .

33
- Full instructions to install WSL are available on the above link.
34
- To install WSL on Windows 10 with Fall Creators Update installed (version >= 16215.0) do the following:
35
-
36
- 1 . Enable the Windows Subsystem for Linux feature
37
- * Open the Windows Features dialog (` OptionalFeatures.exe ` )
38
- * Enable 'Windows Subsystem for Linux'
39
- * Click 'OK' and restart if necessary
40
- 2 . Install Ubuntu
41
- * Open Microsoft Store and search for "Ubuntu 18.04" or use [ this link] ( https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9N9TNGVNDL3Q )
42
- * Click Install
43
- 3 . Complete Installation
44
- * Open a cmd prompt and type "Ubuntu1804"
45
- * Create a new UNIX user account (this is a separate account from your Windows account)

47
- After the bash shell is active, you can follow the instructions below, starting
48
- with the "Cross-compilation" section. Compiling the 64-bit version is
49
- recommended, but it is possible to compile the 32-bit version.
