Dependencies

The up-to-date list of dependencies that the official calibre binaries are bundled with, can be seen in sources.json. While calibre might work with versions of dependencies other than those listed there, it is not tested/supported. In addition to those dependencies various build time requirements such as pkg-config, a C/C++ compiler, etc are needed.
