(I'm not a C++ dev or KDE expert, just a dev trying to make their gorram laptop work more betterer. There was a lot of stumbling here. Recommend you add these directions, it will make this much easier for that expert-non-c++-dev userbase. Yes, its basic.)
1)
Tell people to run
kwin --version
in order to determine the version of kwin installed on their system. and then some of the branches to check out onto / links for a couple different common versions of kwin-lowlatency for those wget endpoints.
(Assumption: kwin version should match the various KDE framework versions that are available for them on their distro, right? I mean that its a decent proxy, and if someone is compiling for a different target/version/whatever or somehow have a non-normal kwin version present then they obviously wont need this help.)
2)
Provide a link to the dependency lists installation page for KDE. I understand that it is most desirable to send peeps to the hacking.md file (which has a link that eventually gets you here) but as there is no .deb for K/Ubuntu at this time, and as such compilation is required for us, it would be nice to have such a link up front.
