midori should depend of webkit2gtk and not webkitgtk. The webkitgtk package (= WebKit1GTK+ branch) in unmaintained since 2014 (https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WebKitGTK/WebKit2Roadmap) and offers a significantly outdated version with various instabilities (2.4.9). Webkit2GTK+ is considered the right dependency as of Midori 0.5.11 (http://www.twotoasts.de/index.php/2015/08/heads-or-tails/).

Thanks for reporting! I was not aware of this.

When changing the dependency and make dependency to webkit2gtk (which is in version 4.0 in the official repos (/usr/lib/pkgconfig/webkit2gtk-4.0.pc)), it is not recognized by the build process.

After changing CMakeLists.txt to look for version 4.0 instead of 3.0 for webkit2gtk, javascriptcoregtk and webkit2gtk-web-extension, it accepts it, but then complains that webkitgtk-3.0 was not found:

-- checking for module 'gcr-3>=2.32'
-- found gcr-3, version 3.18.0
-- checking for modules 'gtk+-3.0>=3.10.0;webkitgtk-3.0>=1.8.1;javascriptcoregtk-4.0'
-- package 'webkitgtk-3.0>=1.8.1' not found
[...]
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Have you tried building the latest version of midori with webkit2gtk 2.10.2? Are there any tricks that needs to be employed?

I read the post at twotoasts.de.

Midori compiles with the current webkitgtk package (3.0), but no webkit2gtk (4.0).

Closing this bug.

Please re-open if you think this is incorrect, and have indications that midori should be able to compile with webkit2gtk.
