Build failed due to missing freetype2 package

Hi,
tried bootstrapping for the Raspberry Pi today and ran into the following error:

`[77/88] Performing configure step for 'engine'

stderr:

I'm not that familiar with cmake and haven't yet had time to try to figure out how to fix this, sorry.

@selste Hi Steffen. Are you able to build the engine repo standalone without this error?

Ah,
thanks for the reminder - was missing a couple of dependencies. I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 which is currently not in the list of supported distros in the install-build-deps.sh script.
