Fixes #408

## Building from source
Users have reported success building from source on Linux AND on Windows.

You make it sound as if it is a surprise that this builds on Linux. This is not the case. We have a CI to test the source build and this is officially supported on Linux. We also have CI for Windows and macOS. So maybe, just drop this remark entirely.
