Hello,
the wiki contain some sites about compiling WL:
* https://wl.widelands.org/wiki/BuildingWidelands/
* https://wl.widelands.org/wiki/BuildingWidelandsMac/
* https://wl.widelands.org/wiki/BuildingWidelandsUnderWindows/

and the development documentation have also its own page:
* https://wl.widelands.org/docs/wl/compiling/

The first impression is that the wiki pages are more up to date and better maintained. In my opinion multiple location for the information how to build WL are not necessary and are just more work. It would probably be better if the documentation point to the wiki pages, so they can be found easily.

What are your opinions?

I agree, I think compiling is better maintained in the Wiki. The docs link is maintained in the docs/ directory in the repository, so this is where this change must happen. Do you want to take it on?

Oh sorry, I should have been more explicit. The docs are generated from the main repository as they document mostly (or completely) development stuff concerning the game. See http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~widelands-dev/widelands/trunk/files/head:/doc/sphinx/ . Some of the source files are autogenerated from the source code, see the README in this directory for more informations.
