Don't.  Either

  apt-get build-dep gqview
  apt-get -b source gqview

installs all build dependenices, downloads the source
package and successfully builds it -- or the repo you got it
from is broken.

Anyay, did you talk to John?  Hacking a year old version of
a non-current branch of gqview may be not the best start if
you want your changes merged.
