As far as I can see there is no up-to-date documentation on 
dependencies.  There is a section on installing on 
http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KMyMoney, but that too is out-of-date. 
  The section on Debian dependencies in fact applies generally, but some 
of its dependencies are actually optional, such as the aqbanking ones 
and ofx.

I made my own list - cmake build-essential g++ libkdepimlibs4-devel (for 
QGpgme) gpgme libgpgme libical-dev libboost libkactivities-dev 
libgmp-dev libalkimia-dev, but even some of those may not be up-to-date 
or overtaken.

Installing the latest KMM version from your distro may bring in most or 
all of what is needed.

Work has started on updating documentation and this area is an important 
candidate.
