Compiling instructions for Windows are outdated #7282

I've installed the latest Ubuntu on a spare SSD on my laptop to see if I could compile Clementine from source for my Windows box but the instructions are quite deprecated...

After installing ubuntu-23.04-desktop-amd64 and following the instructions here you first need to change precise everywhere to a version that is not EOL so I changed it to lunar because it's listed here. But perhaps another one would work too, Precise Pangolin is over 10 years old.

But then I get an error when I want to install the build tools, qt4-dev-tools is not available (anymore) but I cant seem to find out what version it uses, perhaps qt5?

But I guess that would not work since Clemetine needs qt4.

Perhaps it can be compiled on WSL Ubuntu or Debian?

Eh, I don't really know what I'm looking at. Some automated build instructions for compiling it in a Docker container (in the cloud)? Gonna have to look into that stuff because I don't know anything about that...
