[Compilers] Does this mean zksolc-bin cannot be installed on WSL2?

[taurenshaman]

Which compiler are you using?

• zksolc
• zkvyper

Which version of Solidity or Vyper?

0.8.19

zksolc/zkvyper version?

1.3.14

Explain the issue

Does this mean zksolc-bin cannot be installed on WSL2(Ubuntu 22.04)?
It looks that the lib cannot detect the Kind of the OS?

jerin@blade:/mnt/e/blockchain/zksync$ chmod a+x ./zksolc
jerin@blade:/mnt/e/blockchain/zksync$ ./zksolc
solc subprocess error: Os { code: 2, kind: NotFound, message: "No such file or directory" }
jerin@blade:/mnt/e/blockchain/zksync$

### Link to your repo?

It looks that I should install this lib: https://docs.soliditylang.org/en/latest/installing-solidity.html#linux-packages
But after I installed solc, there are sill errors:

jerin@blade:/mnt/e/blockchain/zksync$ ./zksolc
No input sources specified.
Error(s) found. Compilation aborted

Hey @taurenshaman can you outline the steps you've taken please. Are you downloading the binaries from the release page or do you see this message when trying to compile contracts?

The discord bot helped me resolved.

1. install the original compiler: https://docs.soliditylang.org/en/latest/installing-solidity.html#linux-packages
2. download the zksync version - zksolc: https://github.com/matter-labs/zksolc-bin
3. move the zksolc file to project path
4. modify hardhat.config.ts, set the path to compilerPath:

const config: HardhatUserConfig = {
  zksolc: {
    version: "latest",
    settings: {
      compilerPath: "./node_modules/.bin/zksolc-linux-amd64-musl-v1.3.14",
      //viaIR: true,
      optimizer: {
        enabled: true,
        runs: 10000,
      }
    },
  },
