### Compiling with Windows Linux Subsystem (WSL)
If you wish to perform the compilation with WSL, there's an small issue building the image.
The $PATH, due Windows interoperability, has Windows environment variables which include some spaces between the paths.
To solve this problem you need to change the `/etc/wsl.conf` file and add the following lines:
```bash
[interop]
appendWindowsPath = false
```
After that, you need to reboot the WSL with `wsl.exe --reboot`. Then you able to run the `./build_milkv.sh` script or the `build_all` line in the step-by-step compilation method.
To rollback this change in `/etc/wsl.conf` file set `appendWindowsPath` as true. To reboot the WSL, can you use the Windows PowerShell command `wsl.exe --shutdown` then `wsl.exe`, after that the Windows environment variables become avaliable again in $PATH.
