I would not advise trying a KDE-Windows emerge based build.  I've been  
trying on and off for months, and although I did get 4.8 built a while  
back, I have not yet succeeded with git head from 4.8 brtanch.  A  
cygwin based build (using KDE from Cygwin Ports) is more likely to  
succeed, but there are still dependencies you would have to build  
yourself also.

I suspect a Kubuntu 16.04 inside VirtualBox should be your easiest, and  
you should be able to get some of the dependencies from Claydoh's PPA  
on Launchpad.  Once you have the git clone done, there is also a  
command to get most of the dependencies built, instead of getting one  
at a time from failed cmake runs.  Unfortunately, I've long forgotten  
it, and can't currently find it in the emails I still have.  Hopefully  
someone who remembers will chime in.  However, even without it, you  
just run cmake, and it will tell you the next missing dependency.
