Comment (by ctreleaven):

 @ILMostro, what is your objective?  If you are looking to install a full
 Myth system (front & backend), then 0.28 is not a great choice.  It is no
 longer supported upstream and version 32 is going to be released in a few
 weeks/months.

 However, AFAIK, qtwebkit is only used for plugins (like MythNews &
 MythBrowser).  You could try deleting qtwebkit as a dependency and see if
 the build gets much further.  Myth frontend, at least, does build and run
 on Android so it is conceivable that it could be made to build and run on
 Apple Silicon.

 Also, I could not find a ticket or pull request regarding qt5-qtwebkit not
 building on arm64.  Another ticket should be opened.  @kencu, is there an
 upstream Qt ticket regarding building on arm64?
