Note, this version is intentionally sticking to version 2.50.x.

For newer versions use the official webkit2gtk-4.1 package. See https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/webkit2gtk-4.1/

For some reason building this package fails with ninja subcommands failed error making status 4. I had to install webkit2gtk-4.1 https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/webkit2gtk-4.1/

@schnedan that is because the key isn't in your user keyring

make package fails for me with notifying about an unknown public PGP key 91C559DBE4C9123B

is this known / trustworthy?

Thanks @gerson for your answer.

This package didn't compile for me (Arch 7.0.8-arch1-1)

This one provides version 4.0, while the other is 4.1. Arch simply moves too fast sometimes. Some bin codes in the aur still use 4.0.

In my case, I use Vesta, which is free but proprietary. They only provide the bin and it requires the 4.0 version.

But... Yesterday, I've replaced this webkit 4.0 with symlinks to the 4.1 version and it worked. Check it here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vesta

Hello, what is the difference between this package (webkit2gtk in AUR) and webkit2gtk-4.1 (in extra repository) ? Installing bambulab from AUR, it compiled webkit2gtk even if webkit2gtk-4.1 was already installed...

FabioLolix commented on 2026-05-16 16:20 (UTC)

@diamalex you should remove old packages dropped to the AUR you don't use

You can check the package list at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/webkit2gtk?all_reqs=1#pkgreqs

guys, have a good conscience, have developers ever independently built this application on their computer? I have 24 Gigabytes of memory in my PC, and the computer freezes during assembly. I tried to assemble it a second time, and it hung up again, at about 4,154 objects. I looked at the memory consumption - it reached more than 24 gigabytes. If anyone reads my comment, please write down which applications depend on this package, and I will never use these applications again in my life!
