First draft of devkitPPC/wut setup instructions#5
Conversation
Consider this to be a first draft, as there may be some factual inconsistencies. Specifically: * I am unsure of the differences between WSL and standard GNU/Linux, and whether or not the build instructions would actually differ. I also have not considered specialised circumstances such as wanting to use WSL to perform the actual building of the program, but using a Windows-based text editor to modify source code * I am unsure whether or not devkitpro-pkgbuild-helpers is strictly necessary, so I added it just in case * Is WUT_ROOT exported automatically after installation? I think with wut-linux it is but wut-linux-bin and wut-osx (which are used in these instructions) do not export it * dkp-pacman apparently provides scripts to automate the creation of environment variables, and I'm not quite sure how this works - e.g. is DEVKITPPC automatically exported upon installation?

I just realised that I never mentioned anything about CMake being required - I'll add that shortly |

I like it! Some minor tweaks in the review.
On a meta note, I've been working on rewriting the wiiubrew tutorial (draft here which basically covers all the same things, though I may just steal your text and use that instead - devkitPro's install "instructions" really aren't good enough. I don't see a problem with covering the same topic in both tutorials, just thought you should know. (editing that page is a-ok if you're in the mood ;D)
Can always tell when you're written something, your language is really verbose:
you may wish to install Ubuntu or another GNU/Linux distribution from the Microsoft Store app, and perform these instructions within the virtualised Linux subsystem
It's not a problem, I just find it kinda funny. It's great!
See yawut#5 for more information on the changes that were made
