Only mingw can be used for x64 builds, MS Visual Studio can be used
only with x32 builds.

I could be that stuff still needs to be fixed, as I've said all
development efforts are aimed at frameworks so I can't guarantee that
it will work. I recommended kde-4.12 since it was used the last
attempt to release KDE4 on Windows [1]. You could try to fix this
problem or try MS Visual Studio if you don't care that much about the
target (32 bits applications run just fine on 64 bits Windows).
Although I won't guarantee MSVC will work straight out of the box
either. Anyway since I plan to create a KDE4 KMyMoney package I will
also take a look at this but in a few weeks (and I'm using MSVC).
