Several people invested time [1] to create QGIS.
You are welcome to be part of the project and improve build description.
After that read your e-mail once again...

Hi Robert,
sorry for the wrong wording again. Of course I appreciate all your efforts
in developing QGIS and I'm a QGIS-evangelist.
I donate as often as I can, and that's all i can contribute, cause I am
even not able (yet) to build that stuff myself.
This message was written to show a really minor mistake in the install
text on github, and further on I (humbly) remarked that it would be "nice"
to have a central place for the install instruction for the other parts
needed as well. And contributing to that would of course not be the
developers job, but maybe thinking about the possibility to offer a wiki
for that.
Q&PA-Platforms like stackexchange are not really suitable for that, and
searching the mailing lists will not lead anywhere in a lot of cases as
well.
And it is really time consuming to gather all the tips and tricks from
those different resources, and I'm always a friend of streamlining
processes, not only for me but also for lots of others who fail in
building that stuff, or even finding proper instructions.
If I were able to build QGIS and related stuff myself, I would be able to
run the stable and the master versions alongside and could work and test.
And when I finally successfully built everything, I would be happy to
publish my findings .. but where? Just on an other blog or in another
blogs comments, which will be outdated soon?
But I do not intend to lead a discussion here.
Just my 2 cents
Bernd

HI,
In my struggle to manage to build QGIS from source, I finally found
the INSTALL-file on github. (No link to this from the website! At
least I couldn't find anything)
I just want to remark, that under
Optional dependencies:
...
- for georeferencer - GSL >= 1.8
the version number can't be correct, cause there is no such high
version available.
This might be no big problem for most people, but for a noob like me,
this is causing hysteria and increasing blood pressure.
I think it came into existence from an old version i found here
http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Minimal-requirements-td4157264.html
where it sais:
- for georeferencer - GSL >= ? (works with 1.8)
In general, I would also like to remark, that it would be very nice
to
have kind of a wiki for build instructions for the different
platforms and versions and the different related resources like GDAL,
spatialite etc. as well, cause I have to build GDAL myself for MrSID
and FGDB-support (and without that, QGIS on Linux is quite useless
for me, at least not for productive work).
Finding all these infos (and sometimes not very congruentt ones) in
different blogs and forums is ridiculously time-consuming. And when I
already invest so much time in fiddling out this, I would like to have
the other parts state of the art as well, but there is unfortunately
no common place for instructions on the related items.
Cheers
Bernd
