Getting the .so file

• Windows: Start from Step 1
• Linux: Step 3 to Step 4

Step 1: Activate WSL and Install Ubuntu

1. Open PowerShell as Administrator
2. Run: wsl --install
3. Install Ubuntu from the Microsoft Store
4. Launch Ubuntu from the Start menu

Step 2: Set Up Ubuntu

1. Update packages:
   sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
2. Install necessary tools:
   sudo apt install build-essential cmake git

Step 3: Build the .so file

1. Clone the repository:
   git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp
2. Navigate to the project directory:
   cd llama.cpp/
3. Build the project:
   cmake -B build -S .
cmake --build build --config Release

Step 4: Locate the .so File

Run the following command to find the .so file:
find ~/llama.cpp/build -name "*.so"

This should output the path to libllama.so.

Step 5: Transfer the File to Windows

1. Open File Explorer
2. Type \\wsl$ in the address bar and press Enter
3. Navigate to \\wsl$\Ubuntu
4. Locate /home/USER/llama.cpp/build/src/libllama.so (Replace USER)
5. Right-click the file and select "Copy"
6. Go to your desired Windows folder (e.g., Desktop)
7. Right-click and select "Paste"

This provides a straightforward GUI-based approach to obtain the .so file on Windows, avoiding command-line operations for those less comfortable with terminal interfaces.
