Merge #11437: [Docs] Update Windows build instructions for using WSL and Ubuntu 17.04 
696ce46 [Docs] Update Windows build instructions for using WSL and Ubuntu 17.04 (fanquake)
4f890ba Add new step to clean $PATH var by removing /mnt specific Window's %PATH% paths that cause issues with the make system (Donal OConnor)

Pull request description:

  This updates the Windows build documentation with the workaround required to build using Ubuntu 17.04 on WSL, and makes it's explicit that building on Ubuntu 16.04 is broken, and not recommended.

  This includes a commit from @donaloconnor in #11244, and is mostly the investigative work of @laanwj throughout #8732, #8653 and quite a few other issues.

  I tested building on 14.04, 16.04.3 and 17.04 [here](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11244#issuecomment-327990251) and got the results we expect.

  ---

  Built master at c22a53cd63 on a Windows 10 VM (Version 1607, OS Build 14393.1593) using WSL with Ubuntu 14.04.
  ![windows](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/863730/30195033-867f1f24-9489-11e7-932c-e87b8764a627.png)

  Upgraded WSL to 16.04.3, and tried building c22a53cd63 using these instructions. The result is as expected.
  ![ubuntu 16 04 3](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/863730/30235670-b9bf36bc-953d-11e7-8c1d-4debf7113032.png)

  Upgraded WSL to 17.04 and tried building 3255d6347b using these instructions.
  ![ubuntu 17 04](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/863730/30235669-b7473434-953d-11e7-8ea3-d05a319ae2d4.png)

  If someone else could also verify that builds are working on both 14.04 and 17.04 with these instructions, that would be great.

Bitcoin Core

Setup

Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions (which is currently more than 100 GBs); depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.

To download Bitcoin Core, visit bitcoincore.org.

Running

The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bitcoin on your native platform.

Unix

Unpack the files into a directory and run:

  • bin/bitcoin-qt (GUI) or
  • bin/bitcoind (headless)

Windows

Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bitcoin-qt.exe.

OS X

Drag Bitcoin-Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin-Core.
