Sorry, that is not true. I just pulled gnucash-4.9.tar.bz2 from SourceForge and
the line in CMakeLists.txt is
pkg_check_modules (WEBKIT REQUIRED IMPORTED_TARGET webkit2gtk-4.0>=2.14.0)
Nor has that line been changed in git since 2020.
Next I updated my Arch Linux VM, which includes the latest WebKitGtk release,
2.36.0, then checked the pc file. It's
webkit2gtk-4.0:
[john@arch-64 gnucash-build]$ ls /usr/lib/pkgconfig/*webkit*
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/webkit2gtk-4.0.pc
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/webkit2gtk-web-extension-4.0.pc
[john@arch-64 gnucash-build]$ pkg-config --modversion webkit2gtk-4.0
2.36.0
So I suppose this webkit2gtk-5.0 is an OpenSuSE thing. You can easily enough
edit that line in CMakeLists.txt to say 5.0 instead of 4.0 and see if it works.
If it doesn't, you'll have to take that up with OpenSuSE.
