Compiling documentation should always be in the project repo, there's no real reason to make it docs-exclusive. Having a copy in the docs is fine for completeness though. |
`Clone Luanti` -> `Clone the Luanti repository`

I'd like some windows users to test this and see if the instructions are simple enough to follow, I tested it on windows myself but would like more opinions. |

A consensus should be reached on this first: #16649 |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I'm fine with this as MSYS2 seems to be considered the "preferred", "minimal" approach.
However, then I don't see much need for keeping the MSVC documentation here: That should perhaps be moved to docs.luanti.org as #16649 (comment) would seem to suggest?

At least update the MSVC compilation steps in the repo, they are vague, hard to follow, and poorly written. I'm fine with moving them to docs.luanti.org as long as there is still basic compilation steps in the repo. |
This PR adds documentation on how to compile Luanti on Windows with MSYS2.
Mostly taken from https://docs.luanti.org/for-engine-devs/compiling/windows/
Closes #14201
