With Fedora 26 and 27, the following will give you a pretty complete set
of everything you need (this is all one command):

sudo dnf -y install boost-devel cairo-devel cups-devel fontconfig-devel
freetype-devel GraphicsMagick-c++-devel GraphicsMagick-devel
harfbuzz-devel hunspell-devel kernel-devel lcms2-devel libicu-devel
libjpeg-turbo-devel libmspub-devel libpng-devel librevenge-devel
libstdc++-devel libtiff-devel libwpd-devel libxml2-devel
OpenSceneGraph-devel podofo-devel poppler-devel poppler-data
poppler-data-devel poppler-cpp poppler-cpp-devel python-devel
python-qt5-devel qt5-qtbase-devel qt5-qtdeclarative-devel
qt5-qttools-devel qt5-qtwebkit-devel

You also need cmake, of course.
