Windows Subsystem for Linux - README for OpenModelica

This way of building OpenModelica is useful if you want to use a Unix shell and tools on a Windows 10 computer. You don't need to run a VM and Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) should be noticeably faster than doing so.

If you want to use the executables from Windows look at Windows instructions or cross compile for Windows 10 . Please let us know how you did it when it's working ;-)

Get Windows Subsystem for Linux on Windows 10

Follow the instructions from Microsoft to install a Linux distribution.

• WSL install guide

Install build dependencies

See the Dependencies for Linux in Linux instructions or use

echo deb http://build.openmodelica.org/apt bionic nightly | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
echo deb-src http://build.openmodelica.org/apt bionic nightly | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

# Get key for OpenModelica
wget -q http://build.openmodelica.org/apt/openmodelica.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get build-dep openmodelica

Install additional dependencies

If you want to build documentation and run all tests successfully you need some additional programs. There are two options:

• Instal the bare minimum to run the testsuite:

sudo apt-get update
apt-get install flex zip unzip libomp-dev

OR

• Install a lot more to test everything and build documentation and so on.
  See Dockerfile.build-deps from OpenModelicaBuildScripts/docker to get the up to date dependencies and do everything stated in the RUN instruction.
