# sed
# parted's libparted
# progsreiserfs >= 3.0.4
# ntfsprogs >= 1.7.1 (unless you pass --disable-ntfs)
# e2fsprogs (unless you pass --disable-ext3fs)
# jfsutils (unless you pass --disable-jfs)
# xfsprogs (unless you pass --disable-xfs)
# util-linux
# XFree86 or X.org
# zlib
# libpng
# libjpeg
# perl
# Qt >= 3.1.0 multithreaded

## It failed to build for me with the following error.  Maybe my version
## of Qt is too new (3.3.4), maybe my version of gcc (4.x).  It doesn't seem
## to be actively in development any more, and I don't really need QtParted
## for anything, so I just gave up.  If you have the solution, let me know
## and I'll post it here.  I would just remove this howto, but a few
## people asked me for this one.
