  • C compiler (both GCC and Clang are tested)
  • C++ compiler (both G++ and CLang++)
  • gtk2 (gtk2 input method module)
  • gtk3 (gtk2 input method module)
  • qt4 (qt4 input method module)
  • libxrender (Classic UI)
  • cairo (Classic UI)
  • pango (Classic UI)
  • dbus (all im module, Kimpanel)
  • dbus-glib (gtk im module)
  • opencc (Better Simp-Trad Chinese Conversion for Chttrans)
  • intltool

If you want to browse specific package name for a distro, please check Dependency of Fcitx

All compile option start with -D, following only include option name.

CMake General option

  • CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX (Directory to install)
