will also work on other Linux distributions, however the commands for
installing the toolchain will be different.

First, install the general dependencies:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install cmake curl g++ git make pkg-config

A host toolchain (`g++`) is necessary because some dependency
packages need to build host utilities that are used in the build process.

See [dependencies.md](dependencies.md) for a complete overview.
See [README.md](../depends/README.md) in the depends directory for which
dependencies to install and [dependencies.md](dependencies.md) for a complete overview.

If you want to build the Windows installer using the `deploy` build target, you will need [NSIS](https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Main_Page):

sudo apt install nsis
apt install nsis

Acquire the source in the usual way:

git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
cd bitcoin

## Building for 64-bit Windows

The first step is to install the mingw-w64 cross-compilation toolchain:

```sh
sudo apt install g++-mingw-w64-x86-64-posix
```

Once the toolchain is installed the build steps are common:

Note that for WSL the Bitcoin Core source path MUST be somewhere in the default mount file system, for
example /usr/src/bitcoin, AND not under /mnt/d/. If this is not the case the dependency autoconf scripts will fail.
This means you cannot use a directory that is located directly on the host Windows file system to perform the build.
