12.04 is nearly two years old, so depending on which project you want
to build, you might need to add some backport PPAs to update to a more
recent KDE version.

The general steps to build a projects are:
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/your/kde4 ../
make
make install
If you have neither cmake, the C++ compiler, or the Qt/KDE development
headers installed, you will get errors.
Read those error messages.
They tell you which binary or header file was not found. Then use your
package manager (or a distribution specific forum) to find the
packages you need to install to get the required files.
If you want to work on a bug, your first step is being able to
reproduce it. If the bug report is not clear, you could tell the
reporter what you have already tried. With some hope, he can provide
exact steps to reproduce.
More questions? Ask :)
