 You need a C++ compiler with C++11 support (up-to-date CLANG or GCC is
 recommended) and some standard tools such as GNU Flex, GNU Bison, and GNU Make.
-The Qt4 library is needed for the yosys SVG viewer, that is used to display

+TCL, readline and libffi are optional (see ENABLE_* settings in Makefile).
+Xdot (graphviz) is used by the "show" command in yosys to display schematics.
