[cfe-users] Compiling for Linux (with Visual Studio and Clang)

[John Emmas via cfe-users]

Thanks Paul - I found some instructions for installing WSL and Linux here:-

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10

and I've managed to get it all installed without any problems - but I 
can't seem to run it  :-(

Basically... it needs me to use Windows PowerShell to enable something 
called the 'Virtual Machine Platform' (that bit worked okay).  But then 
I need to enable Virtualisation which can only be done from within a 
machine's BIOS.  Unfortunately, although I'm running Windows 10, I'm 
actually running it on Mac hardware (i.e. via dual-booting). And Macs 
don't allow access to the BIOS - not even when running Windows... :-(

So it looks like I've hit a brick wall - unless I can find some way to 
enable Virtualisation without needing to do it via the BIOS.
