changed the title
- Install Docker Engine inside WSL 2 (Ubuntu) as the main route, with Docker Desktop and Podman Desktop kept as alternatives. - Use WSLg for Companion and Simulator instead of GWSL, with GWSL kept as a fallback. - Start the container from tabs per runtime, passing CMAKE_BUILD_PARALLEL_LEVEL and -w /src, plus an etx-docker shell function to start it with a single command. - Split the firmware build into configure and build steps, and drop the separate configure target and the in-source cmake -LAH. - Point to tools/build-common.sh and CMake presets for radio options, and mention UF2 firmware for STM32H7 radios. - Rework the Companion/Simulator sections, including a multi-radio example for 2.10 to 2.12 and matching build image tags for older releases. - Add troubleshooting, tips for keeping Companion settings, and abbreviation definitions (enables the abbr extension in mkdocs.yml).

Thanks for working on this @shane-droid ... I've somewhat re-written most of the guide now, centered around using docker inside WSL so docker is only running when you need it, and because since this was originally written WSLg was not yet publicly available, and removes the need for GWSL, as well as makes it so both GUI and audio can be passed through. Both docker desktop and podman are mentioned as alternatives, as well as GWSL if needed for older versions of Windows 10. This is now live at https://edgetx.org/edgetx/latest/building/windows-docker/ so have a look through and if there is anything you think could be improved or you have any questions on, please let me know / do a follow up PR. :) |
