Failed to install bpf-tools on Windows 10 during rust build step

[slimehunter84]

I'm running through the example now on Windows 10 and when I get to the build step (https://github.com/solana-labs/example-helloworld#build-the-on-chain-program), when building the rust version (>npm run build:program-rust) I get a failure error after a while:

[email protected] build:program-rust
cargo build-bpf --manifest-path=./src/program-rust/Cargo.toml --bpf-out-dir=dist/program

I had moderate success when I tried building solana-bpf-tools-windows from source.

I am having this problem. I'll be glad if anyone can help me out. I tried a lot, but I still can't come to a conclusion.

I have bpf-tools installing issue when trying to use anchor build on Window 11. I solved it via installing WSL. https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/install-ubuntu-on-wsl2-on-windows-11-with-gui-support#1-overview

After installing, you can follow this tutorial to setup the Solana environment.

Try see if this one works,
Mainly solving issues when shared folder is unreachable so are some Json files that the command is looking for when building

run these in Linux CLI:
1) download file from the link:
wget https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/amd64/libssl1.1/download
2) then install it using:
sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.1f-1ubuntu2.18_amd64.deb
