[Github-comments] [geany] HACKING needs build docs update. (#756)

[Matthew Brush]

FWIW, there is a little documentation about this [on the website](http://www.geany.org/Download/Git).

Not that I'm against improving the docs in any way, but just as a general observation, some stuff like knowing when using VCS development tree that more files may need to be generated (bootstrap), or that using Autotools to generate a build system requires Autotools, or running configuration script and having it tell you which dependencies needs installing, and then installing them, is by and large not unique to Geany. Someone should write a generic "building development version of open source software" guide :)
