hi @julian - in case you’re trying to build supercollider for an arm architecture, the homebrew installed (native) qt5 lacks Qt5WebEngine, which is necessary for supercollider’s help browser

Hi
This might be me being an absolute newbie at using MacOS, and if so I am … very sorry. But I am trying to compile SC on my Mac Mini M1 on MacOS 11.6 and it is not going so well.
At first I spent a long time trying to understand why cmake couldnt find C and CXX compilers (which then turned out to be because I hadnt run `sudo xcode-select --reset` and `sudo xcodebuild -license` to agree to Mac@s terms...) but now my main issue is that qt5webengine doesnt seem to be able to be found. I installed qt5 via homebrew `brew install qt5` and I tried setting the paths as suggested in `brew info qt5` but still no luck.
Did I miss something obvious here?
