Hi

You would need to follow the build steps which builds the dependencies that is required.

Here are the steps from the CI https://github.com/voiceip/tinyphone/blob/master/.github/workflows/main.yml#L15-L65

Build Documentation is something that is outdated in the README.md, and probably would need to be made more detailed os wise. For Linux the wiki has the steps https://github.com/voiceip/tinyphone/wiki/Compiling , however for windows and osx there isn't any direct page, however the CI yaml definition has the steps.
