It will only work for one or two weeks. I am affraid that until a not changing 
version of kdelibs is released in late october, the only way to do serious 
development for Krita is to follow instructions on the wiki:
http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/KDE4

As for developing algorithms (tools or filters), I suggest to do it inside 
krita-plugins :
