Is feeding FlightAware via Windows and dump1090 possible?

From Windows10, I am feeding flightaware successfully as follows:

Option (1):

Installed Oracle VM. In VM installed Debian 10.5. On Debian 10.5 installed dump1090-fa and piaware data feeder (both built from source code, and I have posted how-to in this forum).

Option (2):

Configured WSL2 on Windows10, then installed Kali Linux 2020 on it. On Kali Linux installed dump1090-fa & piaware data feeder, (both built from source code, and I have posted how-to in Kali Linux forums)

Note-1:
In WSL2 distros from Windows Store, the systemd is not installed. Hence commands sudo systemctl start|stop|restart wont work. You will get message " System has not been booted with systemd as init system".

In order to overcome this issue, do not use sytemctl commands, instead use sudo /etc/init.d/piaware start|stop|restart or sudo service piaware start|stop|restart

LATER ADDITION
Both the dump1090-fa and piaware fail to build on WSL2/Kali Linux 2020.2 (provided by Windows Store), although same procedure successfully installs them on OracleVM/Kali Linux 2020 downloaded from Kali’s official site. Still struggling to resolve the issue.

 

To install Oracle VM on Windows10 Computer:

https://www.oracle.com/virtualization/technologies/vm/downloads/virtualbox-downloads.html

Download and install following two packages:

(1) Oracle VM VirtualBox Base Packages
(2) Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack

NOTE:
In Settings >> Network, change default " NAT " to " Bridge Adapter "
