## Introduction to Fcitx5-Qt

- Download: https://github.com/fcitx/fcitx5-qt/archive/5.1.12/fcitx5-qt-5.1.12.tar.gz

### Fcitx5-Qt Dependencies

#### Required

CMake, Extra-CMake-Modules (ECM), Fcitx5-5.1.17, libxcb, libxkbcommon, and Qt-6

## Installation of Fcitx5-Qt

### Warning

If you reinstall Qt6 in BLFS, either as an update or a reinstall for a security patch, you will need to reinstall this package.

Install Fcitx5-Qt by running the following commands:

    mkdir build &&
    cd    build &&

    cmake -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr   \
          -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release    \
          -D CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH=ON \
          -D ENABLE_QT4=OFF              \
          -D ENABLE_QT5=OFF              \
          -D ENABLE_QT6=ON               \
          -Wno-dev .. &&

    make

Now, as the `root` user:

    make install

## Command Explanations

`-D CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH=ON`: This switch makes cmake remove hardcoded library search paths (rpath) when installing a binary executable file or a shared library. This package does not need rpath once it's installed into the standard location, and rpath may sometimes cause unwanted effects or even security issues.
