HOWTO

# KeePassX 2.0.2
# ==============
# Prerequisites:
# cmake (>= 2.6.4)
# Qt 4 (>= 4.6)
# libgcrypt
# zlib
# libxtst (optional for auto-type on X11)

# I typically use this on a PC running Ubuntu, not Slackware, so there
# are little Ubuntu/Debian-related notes below too

# If you are using Debian or Ubuntu with Qt 4.x, install the required
# prequisites before you begin.
sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake libqt4-dev libgcrypt-dev \
zlib1g-dev libxi-dev libxtst-dev

# If you are using Debian or Ubuntu with Qt 5.x, install the required
# prequisites before you begin.
sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake qtbase5-dev libqt5x11extras5-dev \
qttools5-dev qttools5-dev-tools libqt5x11extras5-dev libgcrypt20-dev \
zlib1g-dev libxi-dev and libxtst-dev
