+GParted uses GNU libparted to detect and manipulate devices and
+partition tables. Several (optional) "file system" tools provide
+support for file systems not included in libparted. These optional
+packages will be detected at runtime and do not require a rebuild
+of GParted. GParted is written in C++ and uses gtkmm for it's
+Graphical User Interface (GUI).
+
+gtkmm, which is available at slackbuilds.org, and parted, which
+can be found on the second Slackware CD in extra/ or on any official
+Slackware mirror, are required to build gparted.
