The instruction for compiling from source are here

But (there is always a but, isn't it?), from my experience it is not a 
straight forward processes.

I succeed to compile in Kubuntu 24.04  with KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.11

    KDE Frameworks Version: 5.115.0
    Qt Version: 5.15.13
    Kernel Version: 6.8.0-31-generic (64-bit)
    Graphics Platform: X11

The main problem I had that it complains for the lack of some libraries 
(in fact a lot!). Every lacking library was in my machine, turns up that 
what was missing was the "dev" library (<library_name>-dev).

Every time the compiling process stop with an error was due to a missing 
library-dev. Once I added the "-dev" library the compiling process goes 
until the next missing library.

At the end it was compiled, successfully installed and working.

Final note, I purged that installation and put the ubuntu package 
created by Pedro, that works like a charm.

Last final note, I recall, at least for debian based distributions, 
there programs for installing package from other distributions (alien 
one of them). May be you can get the .deb package and convert it to your 
package format.

(here is the ppa for the kubuntu distribution package:

Hope I might help
