So, how do I make a list of that please?
There is not much choice, beside building from a specified build
environment, which is usually the minimal installation for your target
distribution + rpmbuild. Most distributions use dedicated systems to
automatically deploy such clean environment before eac package build
attempt (iurt, mock, etc...).
Also, I tried taking kwrite as an example, downloaded the .src RPM from
a website (couldn't work out the wget thing) and managed to "blindly"
build the RPM. That lists as shed load of files, mostly libraries that
are needed. Again, how do I find these for this particular package? Do I
need to compile first and use a tool that extracts all this information
somehow?
Build dependencies are usually specified in installation instructions.
For humans, of course. You may also try to parse the outpout of
./configure (or equivalent) script. In both case, there is not garanty
then every build dependency will get specified.

That would be because the software doesn't work.
