+1 ...we tried it for days with two devs and failed...
from a very far distance - this is a qt application which uses cmake. As long as cmake/qt is understood it should be pretty straight forward to build the client.
Furthermore the client is build on all platforms within the ci system - this should give additional hints - https://github.com/owncloud/client/tree/master/.github/workflows
Never the less I agree that instructions are missing and will be added as we go ...
I am also a maintainer and not only a user. I won't dive down into cmake (which I don't know) or a proprietary CI system like Microsoft GitHub.
Just write down the command's please, like every other good FOSS project does.

Then it will be quite a challenge - depending on your platform ....
But as stated:

Hi,thanks for the fast reply and the hint regarding the ci.
There I can see, that just running cmake won‘t work - you have to run Craft with many quirky args to setup the quite complex build env.
That is the missing point: No simple build rule, nor a build script with the necessary craft arguments.
