Closed chromatic closed 3 months ago

Adding notes here; we should get feedback from other developers if this works for them as well.

You can determine WSL version by running in windows cmd prompt:

wsl -l -v

I tested the instructions, without issues. Tested also on a WSL install running 20.04.6 LTS.

Yeah, this is useful.

I asked my colleague, who is a graphic designer with limited development experience, to try the guide and he also had no issues. Only doubts he had were about the WSL version and the selection of the posix option (after a few moments, he figured it out).

this is because you created the source directory with sudo. Instead of working from /usr/src, you may just work from $HOME and do the git clone there. This should get rid of all the sudo during compilation

git clone https:/ /githu b.com/dogecoin/dogecoin.git ( delete spaces ) git checkout 1.14.7-dev

I added a note about git checkouts here and recommend against the use of sudo. Thanks for the suggestion!
