3 - Compiling Canary Sources:

Debian

sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade -y
sudo apt install git cmake build-essential autoconf libtool ca-certificates curl zip unzip tar pkg-config ninja-build ccache linux-headers-generic -y

Update cmake:

sudo nano /etc/wsl.conf
- Append these lines:
[boot]
systemd=true
- Save the file.
- Close your WSL distro and run the command below from PowerShell to restart your WSL instances:
wsl.exe --shutdown
- After the restart, open WSL distro again.

sudo apt remove --purge cmake -y
hash -r
sudo apt install snapd -y
sudo snap install cmake --classic
- Close your WSL distro and run the command below from PowerShell to restart your WSL instances:
wsl.exe --shutdown
- After the restart, open WSL distro again.
cmake --version

Update gcc:

- Edit repository file: 
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

- Append these lines to the end:
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
- Save the file.

• How to update vcpkg:

If you already have vcpkg installed

To update vcpkg installation, run the commands below:

• cd vcpkg

• git pull

• ./vcpkg upgrade

• ./vcpkg upgrade --no-dry-run

• ./bootstrap-vcpkg.sh

Observations:

-- Running vcpkg install

This step will take a long time on the first run, as it needs to download and install all the dependencies, so be patient!
