Description

from https://lists.parabola.nu/pipermail/dev/2024-February/008814.html:

The original "fcitx5-chinese-addons" which is from Arch Linux has a
feature to import lexicon online from Sogou, therefore it depends on
qt5-webengine. However, the nonfree qt5-webengine doesn't exist in
Parabola, so we should add an argument in cmake compilation to disable
the browser feature.

the arch PKGBUILD explicitly disables webkit support, suggesting that webkit is supported upstream as an alternative to webengine - i tried that and it compiled - i do not know how to use this program so i will ask the OP on the mailing list to test it
