Comment (by evanmiller):
"Heroes die young, everyone else fails to compile webkit2-gtk on PowerPC."
@kencu and I separately undertook this project with limited results. I
think Ken got something working on Leopard at one point, but the browser
was too slow to be usable. After many days of effort I was unable to get
the port to compile on Tiger. Here was my latest public attempt:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/12009
I have some more private patches in that direction but I really don't
recommend pursuing this. There be dragons of all species. I think time and
energy is better spent making `webkit2-gtk` an optional dependency
wherever it is currently required.
