What also would help, is to keep the instructions for compiling RT actual.
Last October I was successful in compiling RT on Windows (with enough help, see git clone Rawtherapee receives time out). A short while ago I tried again, but I finally stopped because new errors occurred.
The description of compiling the release version on Linux is OK, at least to me it’s not quite clear how to compile a dev version. (I like to compile RT, because it makes a difference in speed!)
Not each one of us is a developer and used to work with github
