# 05 — KDE Plasma on Redox: Concrete Implementation Path
> **Status note (2026-04-14):** This file mixes current status with older forward-looking porting
> instructions. `config/redbear-kde.toml` already exists, the Qt6 stack is built, many KF6 recipes
> exist under `local/recipes/kde/`, and the current gap is no longer "start KDE from scratch".
> The real frontier is distinguishing true builds from shimmed/stubbed packages and then closing
> the KWin / Plasma runtime path.
## Current State Snapshot
| Area | Current repo state |
|---|---|
| Qt6 | Built in-tree (`qtbase`, `qtdeclarative`, `qtsvg`, `qtwayland`) |
| KF6 | Mixed: many real builds, some still partial |
| `config/redbear-kde.toml` | Present with KDE session launcher |
| `kwin`, `plasma-workspace`, `plasma-desktop` | Recipes exist, still marked TODO |
| `kirigami` | Stub-only package for dependency resolution |
| `kf6-kio` | Heavy shim-based build recipe |
| `kf6-kcmutils` | Stripped widget-only build recipe |
| `libxcvt` | Now builds as a real package; no longer needs to stay in the KWin stub bucket |
### What remains true from this document
- KWin / Plasma assembly is still the main functional blocker.
- Mesa/GBM/libinput/seatd integration still matters for a real session.
- QML/QtQuick-heavy components remain riskier than the already-built widget/core stack.
## Goal
Run KDE Plasma 6 desktop environment on Redox OS, starting with a minimal viable

## Prerequisites (from docs 03 and 04)
Before KDE work begins, these MUST be complete:
- [x] relibc POSIX gaps fixed (signalfd, timerfd, eventfd, etc.)
- [x] evdevd + libinput working
- [x] DRM/KMS scheme working (at least Intel modesetting)
- [x] Wayland compositor running (Smithay/smallvil)
- [x] Mesa EGL + software OpenGL (already ported)
- [~] relibc POSIX APIs now reach `libwayland` on the native build path, but runtime validation of the full Wayland base still blocks calling the prerequisite fully complete in practice
- [x] evdevd compiled, libevdev built, libinput 1.30.2 built (comprehensive redox.patch)
- [x] DRM/KMS scheme daemon compiled (redox-drm: 15+ ioctls, AMD+Intel drivers)
- [x] Wayland: libwayland + wayland-protocols built
- [x] Mesa: OSMesa + LLVMpipe software rendering (EGL platform_redox.c exists, Orbital-only)
- [x] D-Bus 1.16.2 built for Redox
- [x] Qt6: qtbase (Core+Gui+Widgets+DBus+Wayland), qtdeclarative, qtsvg, qtwayland ALL BUILT
- [ ] Mesa EGL+GBM with LLVMpipe (platform_redox.c needs GBM extension — planned)
- [ ] libdrm amdgpu+intel enablement (in progress)
## Three-Phase KDE Implementation
### Phase KDE-A: Qt Foundation (2-3 months)
### Phase KDE-A: Qt Foundation — ✅ COMPLETE
Qt6 core stack fully built for x86_64-unknown-redox:
| Module | Version | Status | Libraries |
|--------|---------|--------|-----------|
| qtbase | 6.11.0 | ✅ | Core, Gui, Widgets, Concurrent, Xml, DBus, WaylandClient |
| qtdeclarative | 6.11.0 | ✅ | QML, QtQuick (JIT disabled) |
| qtsvg | 6.11.0 | ✅ | Svg, SvgWidgets |
| qtwayland | 6.11.0 | ✅ | WaylandClient (compositor disabled) |
### Phase KDE-B: KF6 Frameworks — 🔄 IN PROGRESS (21/30+ built)
Built: ecm, kcoreaddons, kwidgetsaddons, kconfig, ki18n, kcodecs, kguiaddons,
kcolorscheme, kauth, kwindowsystem, knotifications, kjobwidgets, kconfigwidgets,
karchive, sonnet, kcompletion, kitemviews, kitemmodels, solid
Building: kdbusaddons, kcrash
Recipes ready: kiconthemes, kservice, kpackage, kglobalaccel, kxmlgui, ktextwidgets,
kio, kbookmarks, kdeclarative, kcmutils, kirigami, plasma-framework
### Phase KDE-C: KDE Plasma Assembly — 📋 PLANNED
Recipes created: kwin, plasma-workspace, plasma-desktop
Config: config/redbear-kde.toml
Blocked on: KF6 completion, Mesa EGL/GBM, libdrm amdgpu+intel
**Goal**: A Qt application displays a window on the Redox Wayland compositor.
