This package consistently and continually sucks up ~2/3rds of a core's time and copious amounts of virtual memory (~100GB after 10 days of uptime) on my modern Intel laptop, draining my battery. The Webkit process seems to be the issue. Is there a known solution?

missing PKGCONF dependency

CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to "Unix Makefiles". CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set. You probably need to select a different build tool.

Ok, I’ll also update the package asap
xeco commented on 2023-05-29 11:27 (UTC)
Could you please add hunspell-en_us as an optional dependency for spell-checking?
bordam commented on 2023-02-13 14:05 (UTC)
@swsnr Fix was commited

Oops, I totally forgot about this. I’ll update ASAP.

@swsnr Thanks a lot for the heads up. Actually, I transferred the maintenance of this package to @bordam. So, could you please take care of those @bordam?
swsnr commented on 2023-02-06 10:54 (UTC)
Sorry, I only just noticed your question: As far as I understand the guide I think you should explicitly pass -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=None.
I'd also like to point out that I had to apply the following patch

to build the latest update in a clean chroot; I think a dependency on libcanberra may be missing.

For anyone who wants to make raw image data pasting work as mentioned here, please use webkit2gtk-imgpaste as the dependency.
