How to build?

[aykevl]

I'm trying to build Plato, but don't get very far.

On Fedora 42 (arm64), I can't find two libraries. It seems like they aren't available in Fedora:

[...]
  = note: ld: error: unable to find library -lmupdf-third
          ld: error: unable to find library -lopenjp2
          collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I've also tried building inside Debian 12 (inside distrobox), but I get the following errors (probably a Debian/mupdf bug?):

error: could not compile `emulator` (bin "plato-emulator") due to 1 previous error

What host system is normally used for building Plato?

I was just checking how difficult it would be to add new features to Plato. Something like adding Instapaper support would be really nice now that Pocket is closing down.
