Some question for building Calibre dependencies
I am trying to build Calibre (I know that Calibre can be debugged by setting environment variables, I just want to try). But I find even just building the dependencies is difficult. The following are some of my questions.
I see that a dependency source.json is provided, do I need to download all the source code and compile them one by one? Or there is a better way to do this? If I only compile Calibre for Linux, do I need to download items that do not contain linux in the 'os' item? Are there more instructions on how to build Calibre's dependencies? I am a little confused now. |

You dont need to build the dependencies. Just install the development versions of them via your distro's package manager. And you need all the entries in source.json that either dont have os or have os with linux in it.

Higher is fine. calibre is tested in CI under current Arch on every commit.
