apt-get install libqt4-dev qt4-qmake git g++
Then, execute the following commands:
git clone git://gitorious.org/fgx/fgx.git  # Download the source code
cd fgx/src/                                # Change into the source dictionary
qmake                                      # Create the makefile
make                                      # Compile the source
make install                              # Optional, must be run as root
