If you wish to build the frontend using the xforms GUI, then you need
the xforms GUI library.

http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/xforms/xforms-1.0.tar.gz

If you wish to build the frontend using the Qt GUI (much prettier),

If you wish to be up and running, then why not just grab the binary
and start using it?
