When building dependencies within the 'depends' folder, you may encounter an error building
the protobuf dependency. If this occurs, re-run the command with sudo. This is likely
a bug with the Windows Subsystem for Linux feature and may be fixed with a future update.

Installation
-------------
After building using the Windows subsystem it can be useful to copy the compiled
executables to a directory on the windows drive in the same directory structure
as they appear in the release `.zip` archive. This can be done in the following
way. This will install to `c:\workspace\bitcoin`, for example:
make install DESTDIR=/mnt/c/workspace/bitcoin
