Build Moby from GitHub sources

Hello!
I just wanted to patch dockerd and to run it.
So, I’ve cloned https://github.com/moby/moby and executed such kind of commands to build and run my patched dockerd.

# Building dockerd
root@ubuntu-xenial:~/moby# systemctl start docker
root@ubuntu-xenial:~/moby# make
...
root@ubuntu-xenial:~/moby# systemctl stop docker

# Running of builded dockerd
root@ubuntu-xenial:~/moby# cd bundles/
root@ubuntu-xenial:~/moby/bundles# ./binary-daemon/dockerd

It compiled successfully, but I’m not able to run any container: I get error like this:

# Trying to run some container in other terminal
root@ubuntu-xenial:~/moby/bundles/binary-daemon# docker ps -a

Error response from daemon: oci runtime error: target os  mismatch with current os linux

  1. What is the right algorithm to build and run Docker containers using Moby?
  2. How cat I resolve this kind of error?
  3. Is it possible to do such kind of build&run on Windows 10/Windows Server 2016?
