Fcitx5-GTK-5.1.3

Introduction to Fcitx5-GTK

The Fcitx5-GTK package provides a GTK frontend for Fcitx.

Fcitx5-GTK Dependencies

Required

CMake, extra-cmake-modules, Fcitx5-5.1.12, GLib, GTK3, GTK4 (only one of the two is required, but both are recommended), and libxkbcommon

Installation of Fcitx5-GTK

Install Fcitx5-GTK 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_GIR=ON               \
      -D ENABLE_GTK2_IM_MODULE=OFF   \
      -D ENABLE_GTK3_IM_MODULE=ON    \
      -D ENABLE_GTK4_IM_MODULE=ON    \
      -Wno-dev .. &&

make

Now, as the root user:

make install

If you have compiled in GTK3 support, update the GTK3 input method module cache as the root user:

gtk-query-immodules-3.0 --update-cache

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.
