I expect all the Linux/Linux-like users to use autotools and CMake for Windows.
Do you think we should include Windows installation instructions instead?

I think both would be good. There's always new people coming to Linux these days. For windows we could add steps both for visual studio and VScode, also maybe a cmd/powershell option.

Removed Cmake alternative build method from the installation section as it's not certain if it should be an official recommended way

Hello. I was checking the repo and decided to try out. I added an "installation" part on the readme that also specifies the standard.
The repo compiles successfully both for GNU99 and GNU23. I used both cmake and AutoTools. I modified CmakeLists.txt like so in line 32:
SET(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "${CMAKE_C_FLAGS} -std=gnu23")Same for GNU99.
When i tried strictly for C99 like this:
SET(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "${CMAKE_C_FLAGS} -std=c99 -pedantic")It worked with AutoTools.
./configure make sudo make installBut C99 did NOT work when i tried cmake.
mkdir build cmake .. makeGave an error like this:
/home/user/qlibc/src/internal/qinternal.h:80:52: error: ‘PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE’ undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean ‘PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE_NP’? 80 | pthread_mutexattr_settype(&_mutexattr, PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE); \fixes #115
