I am running ubuntu 20.04 on WSL and trying to run a project on SGX, but when I install SGX-Driver-1.4.1 I get the error "failed to build driver"

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in Intel® SGX.

Please check if the platform supports SGX/FLC. We have an article that may be useful for your use cases.

Based on the article, we suggest these steps to test on your platform.

On a Linux* system, execute cpuid in a terminal:

Open a terminal and run: $ cpuid | grep -i sgx

Look for output: SGX_LC: SGX launch config supported = true

Hope that the information provided is useful. Let us know if you have any questions regards to this issue.

Thank you.

Regards,

Ken

Hi,

We found out that SGX is not enabled in WSL at all. Therefore, it is not possible to compile/ load it in WSL.

Like a hypervisor or VMM, SGX would have to be passed through as a feature to WSL.

Confirm that SGX is not enabled by running:

sudo cpuid | grep -i sgx

You should see everything come back as false, including SGX: Software Guard Extensions supported = false.

Let us know if you have any questions regards to this issue.

Thank you.
