I forgot to mention that the CMake invocation above will try to enable the
default feature set. If some dependency is not found, you can still try
to disable them as suggested by Alberto in his earlier message. For example
OpenJPEG usage can be disabled adding “-DUSE_OPENJPEG=OFF” to the CMake
invocation.

Regarding packages which may not be available in Debian Stretch, you can
check if they are available in stretch-backports repository, otherwise you
will need to either build the dependencies yourself or to disable some
WebKit features.
