Reporting Bugs

no.

Instructions for building an x86_64 WSL2 kernel with an Ubuntu distribution are as follows:

Install the build dependencies:
$ sudo apt install build-essential flex bison dwarves libssl-dev libelf-dev bc libncurses-dev
Build the kernel using the WSL2 kernel configuration:
$ make KCONFIG_CONFIG=Microsoft/config-wsl

Shutdown wsl

wsl --shutdown

~~Push arch/x86/boot/bzImage to C:\Windows\System32\lxss\tools with file name kernel~~

copy arch/x86/boot/bzImage anywhere you want (except wsl) and create a .wslconfig in %UserProfile% (Windows user home folder) and put it into a file

[wsl2]
kernel=C:\\path\\to\\kernel

the path should be spelled with \\

Run your favorite gore wsl distro
