setup help: requesting explicit list of dependencies to install

[yodurr]

On Ubuntu 16 it's tricky to figure out which dependencies are needed. Can we put a list together in the docs?

I know of these: libicu-dev

open issue: cmake script can't find curl even though libcurl3 is installed

open issue: apt install boost-all-dev on Ubuntu 16 is installing a too old version of boost (1.58). Are you getting boost 1.62 from source?

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.5/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:1677 (message):
Unable to find the requested Boost libraries.
Boost version: 1.58.0
Boost include path: /usr/include
Detected version of Boost is too old. Requested version was 1.62 (or
newer).

also I see it spending a lot of time in the webkit tests during make which slows down trial and error with the cmake script - if there's a way to skip that while trying to resolve cmake issues, that would be great to know.

@yodurr That'd be the infamous #5, still wrapping my head around it. git reset --hard in the vendor/webkit subdirectory fixes it temporarily though.

Unfortunately, I'm not an expert with git.

The list of deps boils down to this:

apt-get install build-essential cmake libboost-all-dev curl libcurl4-openssl-dev g++ \
  libicu-dev ruby perl xxd libicu60

I just finished the Docker integration, which boils down to these for a successful build. Note that perl and ruby are only required for WebKit to build.
