Is it possible to compile Calibre without QT, and still use it's command line tools such as ebook-convert?

Reason being, using Linux + DWM desktop, absolute minimalist here. QT requires bringing in an additional 20+ dependencies and takes a huge time to compile, too! Not too mention the ability, also, to pipe simple commands.

The ebuild for Gentoo doesn't have any relevant build flags from a glance...
