WSL2 is now available in non-insider builds of Windows, starting
with version 2004.
Add a filesystem note regarding use of /mnt/c et al from WSL2 for
compiling serenity. Namely, recommend against it as the performance
across the 9p file system protocol is terrible for IO heavy jobs.
Toolchain/BuiltIt.sh expected a version of cmake which
apt did not provide for my system. Added note of the
expected version and where to find a newer version.
This commit updates CLionConfiguration.md and NotesOnWSL.md so that
they comply with new build system. In addition to that, the WSL doc
is updated to include instructions to run qemu (and serenity) natively
on Windows, without needing an X-window server.
List of changes:
- The cmake command has been moved away from the main build instructions since
the BuildIt script executes it automatically
- The ninja install has been clarified to take the BuildIt script into account
and explain that the folder needs to be cleaned before executing cmake
- The ports instructions have been updated to use the make commands
- "brew install bash" has been added to the macOS prerequisites as per #2132
- The build instructions headers have been indented to group the prerequisites
together
- The build instructions code snippets have been standardized into code blocks
- Fixed a typo
It didn't feel right to have a "DHCPClient" in a "Servers" directory.
Rename this to Services to better reflect the type of programs we'll
be putting in there.
This commit adds a CMakeLists.txt file that will be used by CLion to
configure the project and documentation explaining the steps to follow.
Configuring CLion this way enables important features like code
completion and file search. The configuration isn't perfect. There are
source files for which CLion cannot pick up the headers and asks to
manually include them from certain directories. But for the most part,
it works all right.
\0 pointed out that this is not mentioned anywhere, technically making
it a "local privilege escalation" bug.
This patch adds it to the documentation, and I've also paid out the
first $5 bounty to the "Kiwis for Kiwi" charity as per \0's request!

This is only meant to be about higher-level coding style, not the small
things like brace placement, indentation, etc. For all of that we just
obey clang-format.
