This downloads standalone MSVC compiler, linker & other tools, also headers/libraries from Windows SDK into portable folder, without installing Visual Studio. Has bare minimum components - no UWP/Store/WindowsRT stuff, just files & tools for native desktop app development.

Run py.exe portable-msvc.py and it will download output into msvc folder. By default it will download latest available MSVC & Windows SDK - currently v14.40.33807 and v10.0.26100.0.

You can list available versions with py.exe portable-msvc.py --show-versions and then pass versions you want with --msvc-version and --sdk-version arguments.

To use cl.exe/link.exe first run setup_TARGET.bat - after that PATH/INCLUDE/LIB env variables will be updated to use all the tools as usual. You can also use clang-cl.exe with these includes & libraries.

To use clang-cl.exe without running setup.bat, pass extra /winsysroot msvc argument (msvc is folder name where output is stored).

Step 1: SSH Daemon

In your WSL instance, re-install OpenSSH server as follows.

sudo apt remove --purge openssh-server
sudo apt install openssh-server

Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config (e.g. sudo vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config) and add the following lines to the bottom of the file. Ensure you replace WSL_ACCOUNT_NAME with your WSL2 account name.

» sudo systemctl daemon-reload

System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate. Failed to connect to bus: Host is down

==============================================

Edit*

Open /etc/wsl.conf with any editor:

Edit /etc/makepkg.conf

replace in CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS to use the native one

-march=x86-64 -mtune=generic to -march=native

speed up build by set multiple threads

MAKEFLAGS="-j$(nproc)"
