Build
Developers should open CMakeLists.txt with QtCreator and build there, that is way easier.
However if you know bash-fu it's possibile to build from sources.
We assume you have a terminal open in the sources root directory, where there's CMakeLists.txt.
Build:
mkdir .build
cd .build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$(pwd)/install-root ..
make
make install
