move the build prequisites in a designated space

paull39 commented 3 years ago

Hey,

its a more of a bigger overhaul. I've been through the process of setting up a Thunderbird repository twice and stumbled upon the prerequisites.

Here are my main changes:

there is a new point in the main summary called "Prerequisites for the build".
a short summay in the next section which should work as a small checklist

My reasoning behind the change:

macOS, linux and windows leaves the space of a "wizard" style, clicking next
giving a short summary in the build what you should have done before to reduce the confusion that we left the space of a wizard style
it's the most broad topic for building and deserves to be an extra point to reduce confusion
although i like it to be called "Building Prerequisites" its more eye candy if it starts with Prerequisites because in the summary Building Thunderbird follows

@paull39 : Are you able to resolve the conflicts? Otherwise I could merge these changes manually, but the information that you contributed them would be lost.

@jobisoft Hey I'm unsure if the This page has moved will work. Do you think it's possible to get a preview to see if everything is correct?

For larger changes it is better to do them in gitbook directly. Should I create an account for you?

I cannot preview pull requests.
