Building (Windows WSL)
- Windows 11 with installed WSL2 and Ubuntu WSL
wsl@PC:~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/usr/lib/wsl/lib:/mnt/c/Windows/system32:/mnt/c/Windows:/mnt/c/Windows/System32/Wbem:/mnt/c/Windows/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0/:/mnt/c/Windows/System32/OpenSSH/:/snap/bin
This breaks the build and leads to unpredictable problems.
To disable that behaviour you need to create a file at your Ubuntu WSL
/etc/wsl.conf and add these options to disable. Afterwards you need to reboot WSL or your system. [interop]
enabled=false # enable launch of Windows binaries
appendWindowsPath=false # append Windows path to $PATH variable
To interoperate with your Windows Desktop you want the git tree accessible from Windows.
So you clone the Git Tree to a location at windows and try to use it at WSL.
For this example the Git Tree is cloned at
D:\WSL\LE - /mnt/d/WSL/LE.
If you start building the build folder would be located at D:\WSL\LE\build.YOURPROJECT .To change the path for the build files you need to add some options to the LibreELEC options file
/home/YOURUSER/.libreelec/options .BUILD_DIR=/home/YOURUSER/LEbuild
After adding this line to the options file every build is now located at this folder.
The /home folder is located at the WSL ext4.vhdx and not at the native NTFS storage.
There are several ways in moving your WSL file, the easiest solution is the dedicated tool LxRunOffline . The version 3.5.0 is not supporting the current Windows Version so you need to use a more recent version or a development build.
lxrunoffline move -n Ubuntu-22.04 -d d:\wslAlpineWSL
Or you can use https://github.com/yuk7/AlpineWSL which creates ext4.vhdx on your wanted disk and automatically mounts it to WSL2 itself on startup. Advanced instructions: https://gist.github.com/onomatopellan/90024008a0d8c8a2ed6fa57e8b64df54
