Although it may be something minor but when setting-up bitcoin-core I runned into deprecated libraries and procedures. Like below. First

And with this I had to install the Boost headers separately using sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev.

0checking for Boost headers >= 1.73.0 (107300)... configure: We could not detect the boost libraries (version 1.73.0 or higher). If you have a staged boost library (still not installed) please specify $BOOST_ROOT in your environment and do not give a PATH to --with-boost option.  If you are sure you have boost installed, then check your version number looking in <boost/version.hpp>. See http://randspringer.de/boost for more documentation.
1configure: error: Boost is not available!

What is your system?

It is WSL(Windows Subsystem for Linux).

I can correct it and submit a PR if necessary. And I am on Windows 11 Ubuntu-22.04 LTS.

I can’t recreate youre issue using vanilla Ubuntu:22.04 and apt install build-essential libtool autotools-dev automake pkg-config bsdmainutils curl git. This is either a local issue, or a Windows Subsystem for Linux problem? Closing for now, but feel free to debug further, and let us know if there is something bitcoin core specific that needs fixing here.
