 The dependencies for building can be found [here](https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/main/docs/workflow/requirements/).
 In case you don't want to / cannot prepare your environment per the requirements, consider [using Docker](#building-using-docker).
 
+For building the VMR with Source-Build, the following additional dependencies are required for your Linux environment:
