Hello.

It is not so easy to fix the script because it is based on old toolset (probably on 9.6).
I'll try one more attempt.

Regardning WSL:
I think it is better to keep some instructions because there are a lot of common errors - line ending, correct usage of linux\windows file system mappings. 
Most of Windows users are not familiar with it. I could rewrtite it as: 
  1. clone using WSL to Windows filesystem
  2. disable autoclrf
  3. edit documentation in Windows (usig Unix line-ending) and build in WLS.

Thanks, 
Michail.

Why not fix the script instead?

Using WSL is also a good idea, but then we could just say, use WSL and
follow the instructions for the particular Linux distribution.  We don't
need to repeat all that again.
