Hi Jamenson,

If I'm not misremembering things, WxWidgets's WxGTK is only for GTK-3. 
Because of that, you'll likely need to build the GTK-3 version of 
WebKitGTK as well, since the GTK4 version isn't compatible with GTK3 and 
vice versa. The instructions in the book are designed to have users 
install both, but I know we also cover the case where a user might only 
want one of them.

I'm not sure what to do regarding jhalfs though, that's more of a 
question for Pierre!
