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.
