I am a Linux user. I had stopped using Sigil as soon as the Calibre editor was published due to recurrent nbsp problems, the lack of available binaries and the hassle of producing them.

The new goals set for Sigil 9 (Epub3) are quite interesting. I see that the new Sigil will be built using new software (using Python 3.4 - or 3.5?). But for this reason, compiling Sigil from source looks a little confusing, namely for dependencies. Could a kind soul write the recommended (or advised) procedure say for Ubuntu/Mint so as we may be able to produce a reproductible binary?
