WSL runs a Linux, so without cross-compilation you don't make Windows binaries there, unlike with mingw or Cygwin. If you want a VM that runs in WSL, build a Linux VM. Don't use WSL to build a Windows VM.
Kind regards, Jakob

Maybe it's possible to use WSL if you installed enough tools for cross-compiling a mingw target, but you'll be alone then, I think no one ever tried that.
As said, this would be optimal, but at the moment I will be happy if I manage to build it anyhow :-)
installCygwin.bat requires parameters, at least x86_64, otherwise, it will install tools for 32bit (i686) VM. see

Yes, I had specified these parameters (i686). I am trying to build the 32bit version.
