## Introduction

The [WSL2-Linux-Kernel-Rolling-LTS][wsl2-kernel-rolling-lts] repo contains the latest LTS kernel source code and

configuration files for the [WSL2][about-wsl2].

This kernel is automatically built via [Github Actions][gh-actions] CI whenever a [newer LTS kernel is released][kernel-lts].

## Install Instructions

Please see this [wiki][wiki].

## Reporting Bugs

If you discover an issue relating to WSL or the WSL2 kernel, please report it on

the [Issues tab][issue].

## Feature Requests

If you want to fix a bug or add new features, Please use the [Pull Request][pr].

## Build Instructions

Instructions for building WSL2 kernel with an Arch Linux distribution are

as follows:

1. Install the build dependencies (Arch Linux):  

   `$ sudo pacman -S aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc bc bison curl flex gcc git pahole python unzip wget zip`

2. Build the kernel using the WSL2 kernel configuration (x86):  

   `$ make KCONFIG_CONFIG=arch/x86/configs/config-wsl-x86`

3. Build the kernel using the WSL2 kernel configuration (arm64):  

   `$ export ARCH=arm64 && export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-`  

   `$ make KCONFIG_CONFIG=arch/arm64/configs/config-wsl-arm64`

4. Save the module to a separate folder (Optional. Only for local build):  

   `$ sudo make modules_install`
