KDE 1 on Arch Linux

This is a short guide on how to install KDE 1 on Arch Linux.

Install qt1-git, kde1-kdelibs-git & kde1-kdebase-git from the AUR. Extra applications are avaiable in kde1-kdenetwork-git, kde1-kdetoys-git, kde1-kdegames-git and kde1-kdeutils-git. You also have to have xorg-server & xorg-xinit installed. I have not tested KDE1 with a login manager (like sddm) so I can't help you with that.

Edit ~/.xinitrc and add the following lines

export PATH=/opt/kde1/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/qt1/lib:/opt/kde1/lib
exec startkde

Now you should be able to start KDE1 with the command startx.

This was tested in a QEMU virtual machine (Video model: Cirrus) and on a machine with Intel graphics.

Hey! How are you doing? Thanks for this. I was trying it out on VirtualBox and run into a snag. When compiling I get an error as shown in the linked image. Do you think you could advise me on how to sort it out?

Cheers!

Disable Werror in the CFLAGS. Also I'm not maintaining the packages anymore, so please ask sandsmark who's maintaining it.

How can I disable Werror?

Sorry, I just started using Arch and the AUR.
