Comment (by kencu):
Hi John; the referenced commit did not change `gnucash` to link into
`webkit2`; `gnucash` still links against `webkit1`. Some older systems
were previously forced to use an old version of `webkit1` due to toolchain
issues with `c++11`. We sorted that out, and MacPorts' last available
version of `webkit1` now builds on all systems (except PPC), so we now use
that version for all systems in ports such as `gnucash`.
We all hope that one day `gnucash` might no longer need `webkit1` and will
either use the more-up-to-date `webkit2` or some other javascript
implementation. We look forward to hearing from you / finding out about
this when this is possible.
MacPorts has evolved a somewhat confusing array of `webkit` builds over
time, which we are trying to simplify.
We recently updated our `webkit2` offerings on MacPorts; `webkit2-gtk`
offers version 2.20.3, and `webkit2-gtk-devel` offers 2.21.4. Perhaps one
of these versions might pass your tests and we could eventually default to
using one of them instead.
