mORMot in Windows Subsystem for Linux

Do you know that you can install a full Linux within Windows 10?
See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/window … tall-win10

I use it everyday to cross-compile from Windows Lazarus, and execute the regression tests using WSL on the very same machine.
No need of a VM, with direct access to very same Windows partitions.

I copied and pasted all regression tests here below:

Unfortunently WSL is very limited in Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC. But any windows works perfectly inside KVM. And debugging in Lazarus under Windows is a nightmare(strange delay on  Step operations) compared to Linux

Re: mORMot in Windows Subsystem for Linux

Do you have any link to ease Linux + KVM proper configuration, as recommended for daily Lazarus work?

Actually we use a "private cloud" - a dedicated linux server with proxmox (web UI for KVM)and setup all VM there, but for local usage this tutorial what use Virtual Machine Manager (GUI) is applicable. Just ask my devops team - they recommend to use a VirtualBox instead of KVM (much easy to setup)

I also confirm VirtualBox is very easy to setup and it's free.
