That actually shouldn't be a problem: we try to take great care that Krita compiles \
against released versions of Qt and KDE. There haven't been any significant version \
bumps of Krita's requirements since 2.3.0 -- and if there are, we need to know so we \
can allow for compilation with an older KDE and Qt. When Krita 2.4.0 is released, \
however, we will likely have Qt 4.8.0 as the minimum requirement.

But for now, you can get calligra from git and follow the instructions on 

http://community.kde.org/Calligra/Building/Building_Calligra

(you need to be very precise following those instructions -- it's complex bit of \
software)

or use Kubuntiac's easy script -- but that doesn't work on Slackware, most likely. Or \
at least, nobody has probably tried it, so reports are welcome.

In short: you should be able to compile Krita from git without having to upgrade \
anything.
