Libwebkit error on installation Zekr programme

Support AUR
1

I am a newbie in manjaro. I installed Manjaro Cinnamon. I like it so much. However, I get a libwebkit error while installing the Zekr program related to Quran studies. It needs to install libwebkit. I searched on the internet but could not find how to install it. Can you help me?
Thank you.

Looking at the PKGBUILD for that program it looks like that this program is just downloaded and unpacked - there is no building from source going on.
But the PKGBUILD was last updated almost 5 years ago.
Much has changed since then.

It could be that the needed dependency is in
extra/webkit2gtk
which is in the normal repositories.

I tried:
You edit the PKGBUILD and remove this dependency and try installing.
This worked - but then when the program starts, java throws an error.
Probably an older or otherwise specific version is needed.
Don’t know.

Well, then as the latest comment says, the website is down and you should probably find an alternative.

You need to install webkitgtk2 (which provide libwebkit) from the AUR since pamac isn’t able to deal with that
