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.
