I looked into the readme. I am assuming what you mean is that the python setup.py bootstrap needs to be done in a container. Specifically,

'You need to have acbuild installed as the linux builds are done in a container created using acbuild'

From the website details it seems like 'acbuild' is no longer supported. Is there any reason why calibre can only be built on acbuild?

Why can we not build it in a normal linux environment. Or a linux container if that works?

In any case for my use-case I cannot use Calibre's binary distribution as is, and need to build it with our own build system.
