Building the code on Windows10 using WSL Ubuntu

1. Install Windows Subsystem for Linux and Ubuntu

(Original Howtogeek's Instructions)

• Under Control Panel >> Programs >> Turn Windows Features on and off enable "Windows Subsystem for Linux"
• Download and install Ubuntu from MicrosoftStore

2. Clone the repository

• navigate to the directory you want to clone into and run git clone https://github.com/night-ghost/ardupilot.git
• init and update submodules git submodule init and git submodule update

3. Install the build requisites for Ubuntu

• within the cloned ardupilot directory, navigate to Tools/Scripts and run ./install-prereqs-ubuntu.sh -y

• by installing the following extra tools, you can compile mainstream code for other targets as well:

  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:george-edison55/cmake-3.x -y

  sudo apt-get update

  sudo apt-get install cmake

  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test

  sudo apt-get update

  sudo apt-get install g++-4.9

  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:terry.guo/gcc-arm-embedded

  sudo apt-get update

  sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-none-eabi

  sudo apt-get update

  sudo apt-get upgrade

4. Build using make

• navigate to the respective vehicle folder you want to build for (ArduPlane or ArduCopter)

• use make f4light to build for revomini on default build rules

• changes or building for a different target requires cleaning first: make f4light-clean

• use make f4light BOARD=desired_board to build for other targets, e.g. make f4light BOARD=f4light_Revolution_SD

• once compiled, the binaries can be found in your vehicle folder
