## Building for 64-bit Windows
To build executables for Windows 64-bit, install the following dependencies:
sudo apt-get install g++-mingw-w64-x86-64
```bash
sudo apt-get install g++-mingw-w64-x86-64
```
For Ubuntu 20.04, set the default mingw32 g++ compiler option to posix:
sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++
```bash
sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++
```

This means you cannot use a directory that is located directly on the host Windows file system to perform the build.
To identify your version of WSL, run the command:
wsl -l -v
```powershell
wsl -l -v
```
If using WSL 1, you'll need to turn off WSL Support for Win32 applications temporarily, or you will get ABI errors and format errors for some .o files.
If using WSL 1 then build using:
PATH=$(echo "$PATH" | sed -e 's/:\/mnt.*//g') # strip out problematic Windows %PATH% imported var
sudo bash -c "echo 0 > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/status" # Temporarily Disable WSL support for Win32 applications.
cd depends
make HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32
cd ..
./autogen.sh # not required when building from release tarball

make
sudo bash -c "echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/status" # Re-Enable WSL support for Win32 applications.
```bash
PATH=$(echo "$PATH" | sed -e 's/:\/mnt.*//g') # strip out problematic Windows %PATH% imported var
sudo bash -c "echo 0 > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/status" # Temporarily Disable WSL support for Win32 applications.

make
sudo bash -c "echo 1 > /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc/status" # Re-Enable WSL support for Win32 applications.
```
If using WSL 2 then you should be able to build just with:
PATH=$(echo "$PATH" | sed -e 's/:\/mnt.*//g') # strip out problematic Windows %PATH% imported var
cd depends
make HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32
cd ..
./autogen.sh # not required when building from release tarball

cd ..
./autogen.sh # not required when building from release tarball
CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/x86_64-w64-mingw32/share/config.site ./configure --prefix=/

In either case, be aware that if the first `make` invocation fails, you will see further errors during the `./configure` and second `make` stages. Please
report any errors with this in mind.

## Building for 32-bit Windows
To build executables for Windows 32-bit, install the following dependencies:
sudo apt-get install g++-mingw-w64-i686 mingw-w64-i686-dev
```bash
sudo apt-get install g++-mingw-w64-i686 mingw-w64-i686-dev
```
Ensure that this toolchain can build for `posix` (else you may have compilation errors for Dogecoin's dependencies):
sudo update-alternatives --config i686-w64-mingw32-g++
```bash
sudo update-alternatives --config i686-w64-mingw32-g++
```
Choose the `posix` option (instead of `auto` or `win32`), and continue. Then build using:
cd depends
make HOST=i686-w64-mingw32
cd ..
./autogen.sh # not required when building from tarball
CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/i686-w64-mingw32/share/config.site ./configure --prefix=/
make
```bash
cd depends
make HOST=i686-w64-mingw32
cd ..
./autogen.sh # not required when building from tarball
CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/i686-w64-mingw32/share/config.site ./configure --prefix=/
