I've opted to exclude installing the bare minimum development tools from the documentation as there isn't a uniform way to do that across distributions.
Not to mention that distros may have completely different attitudes to bundling development tools altogether, case and point build-essentials installing only the essentials (meaning, you need to install the needed libraries yourself) on Debian but base-devel on Arch Linux includes practically everything stopping short of FUSE (which is why I omitted it from the README).
Another example is Fedora offering more up-to-date versions of compilers compared to Debian through official channels.
Developers may opt to use their own compiler of choice or a version differing from what the distro offers, as you commonly have to do for downloading recent releases of Clang/LLVM from https://apt.llvm.org/, for example, on Debian and its derivatives.
I've also decided to exclude git as strictly speaking, it's not needed for building darling-dmg. A source dump will eliminate the need for Git altogether (at least as long as you only plan on building and not contributing through Git).
