Ilya Fedin 4b82a56270 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.

Build instructions for Linux using Docker

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.

Clone source code

git clone --recursive https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop.git

Prepare libraries

Go to the tdesktop directory and run

docker build -t tdesktop:centos_env Telegram/build/docker/centos_env/

Building the project

Make sure that you're still in the tdesktop directory and run (using your api_id and api_hash)

docker run --rm -it \
    -v $PWD:/usr/src/tdesktop \
    tdesktop:centos_env \
    /usr/src/tdesktop/Telegram/build/docker/centos_env/build.sh \
    -D TDESKTOP_API_ID=YOUR_API_ID \
    -D TDESKTOP_API_HASH=YOUR_API_HASH \
    -D DESKTOP_APP_USE_PACKAGED=OFF \
    -D DESKTOP_APP_DISABLE_CRASH_REPORTS=OFF

Or, to create a debug build, run (also using your api_id and api_hash)

docker run --rm -it \
    -v $PWD:/usr/src/tdesktop \
    -e DEBUG=1 \
    tdesktop:centos_env \
    /usr/src/tdesktop/Telegram/build/docker/centos_env/build.sh \
    -D TDESKTOP_API_ID=YOUR_API_ID \
    -D TDESKTOP_API_HASH=YOUR_API_HASH \
    -D DESKTOP_APP_USE_PACKAGED=OFF \
    -D DESKTOP_APP_DISABLE_CRASH_REPORTS=OFF

The built files will be in the out directory.
