# Building Widelands on Windows-10 ¶¶
As of some, mhh, issue I lost access to my OSX computer and had to fall back to some cheap WIN-10 machine. But of course I wanted to develop Wideands there, too. ¶
So I started by installing the [Bash on ubunto on Windows](https://msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/wsl/about) for Windows-10. This is not only a bash ¶
but a complete (?) Ubuntu like subsytem. I started installing bzr which worked like on Ubutu and is described in the [[ BzrPrimer ]], that was easy. ¶

using ./comiple.sh I checked the missing pieces and got: ¶

~~~~ ¶
which is actually the same as described for Ubuntu in [[ Building Widelands ]]- ¶
¶
after that ./compile.sh worked with ninja and did its job like a charm. (That Mac MBoo has 8 virtual cores, this machine just 4, well) ¶
¶
after compilig when calling ./widelands I got: ¶

Whats is missing is some kind of Display Driver so I went along this Artilce [How To Run graphical....](http://thehackernews.com/2016/07/ubuntu-gui-windows-10.html) which starts with a [[VcXsr
