Not sure if this is important but make check gives me this report and tells me to report. This was done on Windows Sub Linux system with Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS bionic. The compiling was done twice and the testsuite fails both times. Here is the result on my screen:

As mentioned in #13207 make check is not currently supported on WSL.

@ken2812221 @fanquake Ok, thanks for closing this. But does it mean nothing has failed and I can proceed to make install and the client is fine to use?

You can run test_bitcoin.exe on native Windows to check it.

@ken2812221 thank you for this tip. I've tried it, seems working! Thanks again.

How

@ken2812221 thank you for this tip. I've tried it, seems working! Thanks again.

How can you run test_bitcoin.exe on native Windows? Can we compile the bitcoin code on native windows? I am using WSL

@2w1l1ght see #14219 (comment)

Supposedly you can build on native Windows in Visual Studio.
