If there are issues with the build guide then update the full build guide at https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/wiki/Build-from-source and base the simplified user guide on that so they are consistent instead of making yet another process. I suppose mac users know what os they use but it seems there is more than one.

It's a known process, it should be a single download and build step but there are constant warnings the build process doesn't work.

Just sticking to formal documentation maze:

* First reference: https://librecad.org/#download
* Redirects to: https://wiki.librecad.org/index.php?title=Build_from_source
* References code source: https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/
* Code source wiki: https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/wiki/Build-from-source

Indirectly referenced through the wiki:

* Reference to documentation: https://dokuwiki.librecad.org/doku.php/community:contribute_documentation
* Simplified build guide: https://librecad-docs-dev.readthedocs.io/en/latest/appx/build.html#

I don't know if the Simplified build guide is even relevant given the latest release is LibreCAD v2.1.3 and the guide is for some unknown future version and OS (LibreCAD v2.2.0-rc1 with a few additions).

Then it gets even more complicated with:

* LibreCAD_3: https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD_3/wiki/Building, even uses a different compiler
