 ### 3.1. Build missing dependencies
 Some packages may be missing or outdated in older distributions. Notably `crossguid`, `libfmt`, `libspdlog`, `waylandpp`, `wayland-protocols`, etc. are known to be outdated or missing. Fortunately there is an easy way to build individual dependencies with **[Kodi's unified depends build system](../tools/depends/README.md)**.
