Remove old instructions & patches they referred to (& rename instructions to the actual state) Old instruction names were from the time when tdesktop used GYP that had MSVC, XCode and CMake backends. But tdesktop uses CMake now, so these names are no longer correct.

## Prepare folder
build instructions done for os x version

Use VS 2022 with 10.0.22000.0 SDK version.
2021-11-26 14:13:58 +00:00
The build is done in **Visual Studio 2022** with **10.0.22000.0** SDK version.
Move build to Ubuntu 14.04 and GCC 7.2. To be able to run on the same distributions as before we need to have the same GLIBC version dependency as in Ubuntu 12.04, which is 2.15. For that we need to remove all usages of GLIBC features from 2.16 and above. Currently there are three methods used, so they're wrapped in a separate static library, linux_glibc_wraps. It is a separate library because it must be compiled without '-flto' flag, otherwise the inline __asm__ is not working and we get unresolved symbols.

Choose an empty folder for the future build, for example **D:\\TBuild**. It will be named ***BuildPath*** in the rest of this document. Create two folders there, ***BuildPath*\\ThirdParty** and ***BuildPath*\\Libraries**.
Removed some download-in-ZIP from build docs.

All commands (if not stated otherwise) will be launched from **x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2022.bat** (should be in **Start Menu > Visual Studio 2022** menu folder). Pay attention not to use any other Command Prompt.

Don't provide 'api_id' and 'api_hash' by default. We ask the developer to obtain his own api credentials, because the bundled 'api_id' / 'api_hash' are strictly limited by the server. The old credentials still could be used for test purposes, but the developer will need to explicitly opt-in to use them.
2018-11-04 10:29:30 +00:00
### Obtain your API credentials
You will require **api_id** and **api_hash** to access the Telegram API servers. To learn how to obtain them [click here][api_credentials].
