Bug Description

The installation for the required libraries for Ubuntu on https://github.com/rustdesk/doc.rustdesk.com/blob/master/content/dev/build/linux/_index.en.md are different from the one on https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk says.

Mainly the libraries:

libgstreamer1.0-dev
libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev

are missing.

The doc.rustdesk says (space added and backslash marks removed trying to make it easier to compare) :

sudo apt install -y     g++ gcc git curl wget nasm yasm libgtk-3-dev clang libxcb-randr0-dev libxdo-dev libxfixes-dev libxcb-shape0-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev libasound2-dev libpulse-dev cmake

Readme.md on main github rustdesk repo says:

sudo apt install -y zip g++ gcc git curl wget nasm yasm libgtk-3-dev clang libxcb-randr0-dev libxdo-dev libxfixes-dev libxcb-shape0-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev libasound2-dev libpulse-dev cmake make libclang-dev ninja-build libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev

How to Reproduce

Compiling without the two libraries fails libgstreamer1.0-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev fails. Which was also reported in issue https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/issues/2881

Expected Behavior

The build instructions should be up to date with the latest changes on the main repository.

Operating system(s) on local side and remote side

Compiling on Ubuntu 18(.04)

RustDesk Version(s) on local side and remote side

Tested with 1.2.3 and nightly-2024-02-05

Screenshots

@PJaros commented on GitHub (Feb 6, 2024):

I did follow the tutorial https://rustdesk.com/docs/en/dev/build/linux/ to the letter. It is not up to date.

The two libraries:

libgstreamer1.0-dev
libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev

are missing in the documentation.

Is there a guide on how to change the documentation myself? Do I need to fork the repository and change every language version?
