2016-11-25doc: Improve windows build instructions using Linux subsystemWladimir J. van der Laan
I did a build on a windows 10 laptop and took notes, and tried to improve the document: - It's the Linux subsystem for Windows, not the other way around. - Split out dependencies: general ones, 64-bit, 32-bit. Remove the reference to `build-unix.md`, easy enough to be self-contained. - Place 64-bit instructions first. 99% will want these. - Installation instructions: recommend using `/` for prefix, same as we do on gitian builds. This will allow copying the files to a usable (from Windows) place using just `make DESTDIR=...`. - Remove double spaces / consistent width reformatting.
2016-10-17Documentation for Building on Windows with WSLpoole_party
The new Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) allows a user to run a bash shell directly on Windows in an Ubuntu based environment. This can be used to cross-compile Bitcoin directly on Windows without the need for a separate Linux VM or Server. The instructions included in this commit explain how to configure the environment and build Bitcoin Core using this new feature.
