Hey. I have not posted anything to the Krita forums, as far as I know. Or
maybe I've forgotten, which tends to happen. It's Antton btw (double t), in
case someone has a similar name. As may be apparent, I'm doing this rather
haphazardly at the moment due to lack of time. I've been building
everything because I don't know what the Krita dependencies actually are
:). Thanks for the listing. MinGW is essential for my purposes, so that's
what I'm going with, whether it's currently a good idea or not. Maybe in
the process I can contribute to making it work properly.

More about kross:
I think I found the culprit yesterday. The metafunction simply isn't
getting compiled into the krosscore dll, so the test obviously cannot link
to it. I included metafunction.h in manager.h, and now it at least compiles
fine. Ad hoc Patch:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/95677592/kde/metafnpatch.diff

I don't quite understand how it is even supposed to work without this. It
doesn't seem like any of the source files depend on metafunction.h (apart
from the test), so it would seem logical to omit it from the dll. Is cmake
supposed to do some magic to make sure it's included? Metafunction is
mentioned in the core's CMakeLists, but after that, it seems to be mostly
forgotten.
