Your Godot version:
v4.2.beta3

Issue description:
As mentioned in godotengine/godot#84075, the ANGLE backend (new to 4.2) is statically linked to the official builds, but:

  • Custom builds available in Godot Commit Artifacts need a copy of the ANGLE binaries to work with that backend.
  • Manual builds made by the user need to statically link the binaries by themselves during the build process, or do the same as the custom builds.

Based on that, the "Building from source" documentation need some info on how to do that for the target platforms. My suggestion is for the target pages to have info on:

  • What version of ANGLE to use (is the latest OK? Is there a minimum version? Or is a specific number version required?)
  • Where to get binaries (here? Chromium Embedded Framework Automated Builds)
  • How to use binaries on builds without it (what files on each platform?)
  • Where to get the static libraries (here? Godot Angle Static)
  • How to compile Godot with those libraries ( angle_libs=/PATH/TO/STATIC/LIBS )

URL to the documentation page:
Building from source - Building for target platforms

Edit: Ooops. I didn't notice there was an enhancement button. Sorry 😞
