### Windows WSL
Build Ubuntu/Debian linux binary on [WSL](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install) (Windows Subsystem for Linux).
```bash
# Install build prerequisites
sudo apt-get install ninja-build gettext cmake build-essential
# Build the linux binary in WSL
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
# Install the linux binary in WSL (with `<arch>` either `x86_64` or `arm64`)
cd build && cpack -G DEB && sudo dpkg -i nvim-linux-<arch>.deb
# Verify the installation
nvim --version && which nvim # should be debug build in /usr/bin/nvim
```
**Note**: If you encounter linker errors or segfaults during the build, Windows libraries in your PATH may be interfering. Use a clean PATH to avoid conflicts:
```bash
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin" make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
```
