Re: [GNC-dev] Documentation update problems

Geert "I think a generic page for autotools based build and one for cmake based builds would be useful. We can even consider abandoning the autotools based page to save time. This should be accompanied with a page that explains how to set up the proper dependencies based on your platform.

Re: [GNC-dev] Documentation update problems

Adrien, I think it is better to leave packaging apps to specialists rather than the general user. Using flatpak and snap can be better addressed on the Installation page rather than a building page which also addresses using , Software Mmanager and installation of the version supported by the
