Sorry for offtopic, but for this time consuming package it might be worth it @tuxsavvy there is an more easy way: it is possible to set the makeflags in /etc/makepkg.conf
You find under
# ARCHITECTURE, COMPILE FLAGS MAKEFLAGS="-j1"
you can change it that way: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/makepkg#MAKEFLAGS
i set it direct: MAKEFLAGS="-j9" # it should be one more than your virtual cpus
It took me ~5-6 hours on Core2Duo E8400 with 8GB RAM.
The overall default compile process does not take advantage of SMP set up. I initially ran it with the default PKGBUILD file but cancelled it about 2-3 hours in before setting it up to use 2 CPU. Check under _build area:
make all stamp-po
If it takes advantage of SMP it should be something like:
make -j 2 all stamp-po
Where 2 is however many CPU you have.
@joe1984: Quick googling brings me to an answer: too long path. [1] Could you check your path? By the way, length limitations are smaller on encrypted filesystems.
As a reference, it takes me almost 9 hours to build webkitgtk & webkitgtk2. (Linode VPS with 1G RAM + 1.5G swap)
@saligrama I cancelled it after 2 hours of compiling, and you've got a more powerful machine than I do. I may wait until I can let it run overnight. Anyone have a time-estimate on how long it has (should) take?
After a few hours of compiling, I get this error. ../webkitgtk-2.4.11/Source/WebCore/plugins/PluginView.cpp:1494:1: fatal error: opening dependency file Source/WebCore/plugins/.deps/libWebCore_la-PluginView.Tpo: No such file or directory } // namespace WebCore ^ compilation terminated. make[1]: *** [GNUmakefile:59766: Source/WebCore/plugins/libWebCore_la-PluginView.lo] Error 1
Is this taking a very long time to compile for anyone else? It has taken almost 4 hours and is still in progress. I'm running on an i7-6700HQ with 16GB of RAM.
I also found this:
patching file Source/WebCore/platform/text/enchant/TextCheckerEnchant.cpp
patch unexpectedly ends in middle of line
Hunk #1 succeeded at 128 with fuzz 1.
It's related?, or does it not matter?
I do not think so
Build error:
Until that error (ImportError: cannot import name 'codegen_main') everything was fine,
SOLVED.
I have found the same error in another package and the solution explained there has worked for me.
I quote: The python script gdbus-codegen is checking for "bin" in the executable path, not "sbin". Thus, instead of getting the necessary shared folder (/usr/share/glib-2.0) it's getting something else. You should remove /usr/sbin from your path; it is supposed to simply be a link to /usr/bin anyway.
I leave the comment because it serves someone else. If you think there is a problem, I'll eliminate it.
Here's a patch requested by @Schmeidenbacher until the maintainer can get to it. You'll have to add it to the PKGBUILD w/ checksum as appropriate.

FAQ
Q: What's the difference between this package and extra/webkit2gtk?
A: webkitgtk/webkitgtk2 provides WebKit1 API/ABI, which is not compatible with WebKit2 API/ABI provided by extra/webkit2gtk. WebKitGTK+ 2.4.x is the latest branch that provides WebKit1 API. Later branches provides WebKit2 API only.
Please don't flag it as out-of-date.
Q: Are there binaries for this package somewhere?
A: I maintain the latest built package at https://github.com/frealgagu/archlinux.webkitgtk/releases
Q: "error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.62: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
A: You'll need to rebuild against the latest version of ICU.
Q: "error: ‘WTF::StringImpl::StaticASCIILiteraicASCIILiteral’ has not been declared" or any enchant errors.
A: If you are building in parallel, try disabling parallel using -j1 in /etc/makepkg.conf
Q: Why building takes too long time?
A: WebKit is inherently big and complex. You can modify /etc/makepkg.conf or PKGBUILD directly to build it in parallel.
Change "make all stamp-po" by "make -j x all stamp-po" in PKGBUILD replacing x by cores your machine has. (Thanks to @MadMe)
Change /etc/makepkg.conf in that way: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/makepkg#Parallel_compilation under
# ARCHITECTURE, COMPILE FLAGSuseMAKEFLAGS="-j9"# It should be one more than your virtual CPUs. (Thanks to @tuxsavvy).However be pending if errors occur as mentioned in previous question.
Q: How much I want to wait to a successful compilation?
A: It varies of your PC's processor and RAM, the times shared in the comments are as follow:
3.5 hours to build on core i5 laptop with 8G of RAM, makeflags j4. (@cabbage)
13.5 hours to build on AMD Athlon X2, makeflags j1 (@Bonnietwin).
5-6 hours on Core2Duo E8400 with 8GB RAM, makeflags j2 (tuxsavvy).
50 minutes on 6c/12t 3.3GHz (@kubrick).
