Here is a better page:

http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Building_SVN_versions_with_CMake

with more up to date details.

You will need to have subversion so that you can download the source, 
unless you get a tarball from downloads.

You are probably going to have more questions as you go, so keep coming
