This combination is unsupported, proceed at your own risk!

This repository is outdated. To get the sources for the KDE 4.14
version of Kate:
git clone git://anongit.kde.org/kate.git
cd kate/
git checkout KDE/4.14
cd ../
Then proceed with step 4.

I am not 100% sure, but kdelibs was frozen at 4.10 release, so it
might still be possible to build 4.14 software against kdelibs 4.8. I
suggest to just try it. If you get a compile error about a missing
declaration, you need a newer kdelibs version.

Yes, and possibly other packages, depending on the error messages that
the "cmake" run shows. If you get stuck, post those.
