+# Dependency report for QIDISlicer
+## Possible dynamic linking on Linux
+* zlib: Strict dependency required from the system, linked dynamically. Many other libs depend on zlib.
+* wxWidgets: searches for wx-3.1 by default, but with cmake option `SLIC3R_WX_STABLE=ON` it will use wx-3.0 bundled with most distros.
+* libcurl
+* tbb
+* boost
+* eigen
+* glew
+* expat
+* openssl
+* nlopt
+* openvdb: This library depends on other libs, namely boost, zlib, openexr, blosc (not strictly), etc... 
+* CGAL: Needs additional dependencies
+    * MPFR 
+    * GMP
+
+## External libraries in source tree
+* ad-mesh: Lots of customization, have to be bundled in the source tree.
+* avrdude: Like ad-mesh, many customization, need to be in the source tree.
+* clipper: An important library we have to have full control over it. We also have some slicer specific modifications.
+* glu-libtess: This is an extract of the mesa/glu library not officially available as a package.
+* imgui: no packages for debian, author suggests using in the source tree
+* miniz: No packages, author suggests using in the source tree
+* qhull: libqhull-dev does not contain libqhullcpp => link errors. Until it is fixed, we will use the builtin version. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=925540
+* semver: One module C library, author expects to use clib for installation. No packages.
+
+## Header only
+* igl
+* nanosvg
+* agg
+* catch2: Only Arch has packages for catch2, other distros at most catch (v1.x). Being strictly header only, we bundle this in the source tree. Used for the unit-test suites.
