a) Go to PaintApp/Source directory.
b) Edit local.pri and enter the full path of the PaintApp directory.
c) qmake -recursive
d) make
e) ./GCFPaintApp.

Page 32 of the manual has detailed comments on the example program. Hope this helps.

After step (d), I see the following error:

I dont have Qt 4.3/MinGW on my computer. All of GCF was developed using the commercial edition of Qt 4.3 in my office. I will take a look at the MinGW issues this weekend and get back to you.
