- Reorder instructions to mention ARM64 builds first in macOS,
as this is the primary architecture in use now (with all new Macs
since 2023 being sold with Apple Silicon only). The `lipo` command still
works as before, as it infers the architecture from the input files.
- Remove the manual bundle generation steps to make the page shorter
(similar to Compiling for Android).
- Remove references to the master branch (this was only relevant when
4.0 was still in development).
- Ensure most pages are reachable through the sidebar, by removing headers on pages that are mostly indexes.
- This also means that some pages now have navigable headers again.
- Remove prompt or `$` sign which makes triple-click based selection
more difficult and time-consuming.
- Use `platform` instead of `p` alias in all SCons examples.
* Ubuntu APT oneliner to install system builtin alternatives
Might work on Debian, not sure - tested on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
* Use new table syntax (easier to maintain), add Debian

- Update link to Xcode download. Mention that it requires being
logged into an Apple ID for the page to be visible.
- Remove DMG method as Xcode has been distributed in XIP archives
since 2016.
Command used:
lychee **/*.rst --github-token="..." --accept="100..=103,200..=299,429"
429 error codes were allowed due to a high number of false positives,
even with a GitHub token specified.
- List Wayland dependency and packages on most distributions.
- Use `sudo` on distributions that are set up to use it by default.
- Use unattended install-friendly commands (e.g. `-y` switch).
- Mention required commands to run before installing, such as
`apt-get update`.
- Fix install commands on some distributions:
- Alpine no longer packages libexecinfo since 3.17, so it was removed
from the list.
- Solus requires `-c` for `system.devel`.
- Reorder distributions so they're in alphabetical order.
This line can be simplified from:
`If installing Visual Studio 2017 or 2019, make sure to enable **C++** in
the list of workflows to install.`
To:
`Make sure to enable **C++** in the list of workflows to install.`
This line is not needed as we don't support 2015 anymore:
`If installing Visual Studio 2015, make sure to run a **Custom**
installation instead of **Typical** and select **C++** as a language there.`
This can be simplified from:
`If you've already made the mistake of installing Visual Studio without
C++ support, run the installer again; it should present you a **Modify** button.`
To:
`If you've already installed Visual Studio without C++ support, run the installer
again; it should present you a **Modify** button.`
From my checking on my system, this line is no longer true, so we can remove it:
`Running the installer from *Add/Remove Programs* will only give you
a **Repair** option, which won't let you install C++ tools.`
Now we can move the simplified text up so that the reader does not have to dig through the entire document to find that important bit of information, while not making the text at the top much longer due removing outdated information.
