This fails on an M1 MacBook Air. The build reports no suitable m4 installation, and prompts to have the build tools installed again. This will keep occurring.
From discussions elsewhere, it sounds like this may be related to whether or not you have Xcode installed (not just the xcode-select-installed tools), but I have not verified this.

This renders as a second-level heading that also contains the Firo Core build instructions, which is probably not what was intended. It might be more clear to have it under the dependency header, and then have the build instructions as a higher-level heading.

That’s an interesting point. My tests were on Macs that all had Xcode installed, which likely explains why I didn’t encounter the same problem. Considering the size of the full Xcode, its installation is mostly unnecessary for users who are just trying to manually build the project. I’ll continue to look into this issue to find a workaround. If I can't find a better solution, I'll update our documentation to suggest installing Xcode. Also, I’ve taken your advice and reorganized the build instructions for clearer navigation. Thanks for your insightful comments!

Plus it's apparently necessary to obtain an Apple ID in order to even obtain Xcode, which not all users may wish to do, and which imposes another effective build requirement.

57-90: Streamline the build instructions and improve markdown consistency.The steps to build Firo Core are crucial and should be presented in a clear and structured manner. Consider reorganizing these steps to enhance clarity and ensure that each step is accurately described. Improve markdown formatting for consistency.
## Build Instructions #### Download the Source Before building, download the Firo source code: ```bash git clone https://github.com/firoorg/firo cd firoBuild Firo Core
Prepare the build environment:
cd depends make cd ..Configure and build Firo-core:
./autogen.sh ./configure --prefix=`pwd`/depends/`depends/config.guess` make(optional) It is recommended to build and run the unit tests:
./configure --prefix=`pwd`/depends/`depends/config.guess` --enable-tests make check(optional) You can also create a .dmg that contains the .app bundle:
