The directions are still there.
http://webdev.cegit.de/snapshots/kde-cygwin/kde/kde3.4/
Copy/pasted:
Snapshot release of KDE 3.4.1
IMPORTANT
This kde release may not run with newer qt libraries from
http://cygwin-ports.sf.net. If you like to run newer qt releases please
remove this packages completely and install kde from the independent project
http://cygwin-ports.sf.net.
INSTALLATION
1. install required cygwin packages
cygwin xorg-x11-base freetype2 fontconfig libxslt libxml2 libiconv libtiff5
openssl libbz2_1 zlib libpcre0 jpeg libaspell15 libart_lgpl libsasl2 ash
rebase
2. download the packages and unpack them into the cygwin root
wget -nd
http://webdev.cegit.de/snapshots/kde-cygwin/kde/kde3.4/qt-x11-free-3.3.4-1.tar.bz2
wget -nd
http://webdev.cegit.de/snapshots/kde-cygwin/kde/kde3.4/kdelibs-3.4.1-0.tar.bz2
wget -nd
http://webdev.cegit.de/snapshots/kde-cygwin/kde/kde3.4/kdebase-3.4.1-0.tar.bz2
wget -nd
http://webdev.cegit.de/snapshots/kde-cygwin/kde/kde3.4/kdepim-3.4.1-0.tar.bz2
wget -nd
http://webdev.cegit.de/snapshots/kde-cygwin/kde/kde3.4/kdesdk-3.4.1-0.tar.bz2
tar -C / -xjf qt-x11-free-3.3.4-1.tar.bz2
tar -C / -xjf kdelibs-3.4.1-0.tar.bz2
tar -C / -xjf kdebase-3.4.1-0.tar.bz2
tar -C / -xjf kdepim-3.4.1-0.tar.bz2
tar -C / -xjf kdesdk-3.4.1-0.tar.bz2
3. rebase all dll's to avoid cygwin remap problem
<before running rebaseall make sure, that no cygwin process is running>
1. create file list
find /opt/qt/3.3 /opt/kde3.4 -name '*.dll' >/tmp/files.lst
2. close *ALL* cygwin processes
3. open a windows command shell (cmd.exe) from Start/Run and goto
cygwin installation root
cd c:\cygwin
bin\ash bin/rebaseall -b 0x61000000 -v -T tmp/files.lst
4. start kde
1. display only kicker (uses Xwin multiwindow mode)
at first create a simple startscript
cat >~/startkde
/usr/sbin/cygserver &
export CYGWIN=server
export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0
xwin -multiwindow &
xwinclip &
xhost +
export SHELL=/bin/bash
kdeinit +kicker &
[press ENTER, then CTRL-D]
chmod a+x ~/startkde
no you can start kde with
~/startkde &
stop kde - run
kdeinit_shutdown
then close the bash window
2. using full kde desktop (uses Xwin rootless mode)
cat >~/startkde
#!/bin/bash
cygserver &
export CYGWIN=server
export SHELL=/bin/bash
xwin -fullscreen -noreset &
xwinclip &
xhost +
/opt/kde3.4/bin/startkde
kdeinit_shutdown
taskkill /IM xwin
taskkill /IM xwinclip
taskkill /IM cygserver
[press ENTER, then CTRL-D]
chmod a+x ~/startkde
no you can start kde with
~/startkde &
Notes
1. If you encounter problem with kmail (load loading time when opening new
email window or seg faults), you can install the cygwin-dll-2005-04-13
package, which runs stable for me.
cd ~
wget -nd
http://webdev.cegit.de/snapshots/kde-cygwin/kde/kde3.4/cygwin-dll-2005-04-13.tar.bz2
tar -xjf cygwin-dll-2005-04-13.tar.bz2
cp bin/cygwin1.dll /
<close all cygwin apps and start a cmd shell, then enter >
cd c:\cygwin (or wherever your cygwin root is located)
copy cygwin1.dll bin
<now you can restart kde>
2. You can add the Entries of your windows start menu with the lnk2desktop
tool. See the readme.txt in the package lnk2dektop-x.y.z.tar.bz2 for more
information.
3. How to install a KDE language package:
1. download the related language package from
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.4.1/SuSE/noarch
2. install cygwin rpm package
3. create a symbolic link from /opt/kde3.4 to /opt/kde3 if not
already existent:
ln -s kde3.4 /opt/kde3
4. install the downloaded language package
rpm -ivh kde3-i18n-xx-x.y.z-p.noarch.tar.bz2--ignoreos
5. setup new language with kpersonalizer
in case of problems see http://kde-cygwin.sf.net/kde3 and/or contact

HEY Thar;
There was a set of directions on the snapshots site but it's gone now. But I
did follow those directions and got KDE to work. The term is "rebase". I
guess one could look for this in the man files. It takes the required DLLs
and puts them in the right directories to let KDE exe's to find them. That's
all I know.
I should have saved that page, drat!

Hi,
I have also been battling trying to get kde to start within cygwin.
I finally have made some progress. It seems that environment variables set
within your cygwin shell (eg in .bashrc) don't propagate to the new shell
that is running startkde. As a result you have to edit the Windows
environment variables by right-clicking on "My Computer" and "Advanced".
After I added all of the environment variables mentioned in
http://kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net/kde3/faq.php#debug_kde3, things started
to work.
To start X I just run "startx &".
Then, to start KDE I run "startkde"
I haven't as yet got to a working KDE desktop - several of the kdeinit
instances hang.
But it's progress. I'm going to try to run individual applications, once I
can find a distribution of cygipc, which so far is elusive.
Regards,
Joe.

There was a set of directions on the snapshots site but it's gone now. But I
did follow those directions and got KDE to work. The term is
"rebase". I guess one could look for this in the man files. It takes
the required DLLs and puts them in the right directories to let KDE exe's to
find them. That's all I know. <br>
I should have saved that page, drat!</p>

<p>Hi,<br>
<br>
I have also been battling trying to get kde to start within cygwin.<br>
<br>
I finally have made some progress. It seems that environment variables set<br>
within your cygwin shell (eg in .bashrc) don't propagate to the new shell<br>
that is running startkde. As a result you have to edit the Windows <br>
environment variables by right-clicking on "My Computer" and
"Advanced".<br>
After I added all of the environment variables mentioned in<br>
<a href="http://kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net/kde3/faq.php#debug_kde3" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net/kde3/faq.php#debug_kde3</a>,
things started<br>
to work.<br>
<br>
To start X I just run "startx &".<br>
Then, to start KDE I run "startkde"<br>
<br>
I haven't as yet got to a working KDE desktop - several of the kdeinit <br>
instances hang.<br>
<br>
But it's progress. I'm going to try to run individual applications, once I<br>
can find a distribution of cygipc, which so far is elusive.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Joe.<br>

<p><font face="Courier New" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">and installation went smootly. However, KDE did not
start up - kdeinit hung without further information. After quite a while I
figured out that the problem was the missing <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">cygart_lgpl-2.dll</span></b>
coming with <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">libart_lgpl2</span></b>. Maybe
this information could be updated as the above installation procedure does
advise to install <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">libart_lgpl. </span></b>That'll
be very helpful.</span></font></p>
