I'm trying to compile mu that uses the headers webkit/webkitwebview.h and webkit/webkitwebresource.h. The OSX version of webkit framework located in /System/Library/Frameworks doesn't seem to have it, the headers are different and use NS data types and stuff.

So I downloaded webkit-gtk with MacPorts (since it's not available through Homebrew) and pointed $PKG_CONFIG_PATH to webkit-1.0.pc. I verified and this version has the needed headers.

But the problem is, I still get an error, the configure file doesn't seem to be able to find it. checking for WEBKIT... no

I don't even know, actually, if webkit-1.0.pc is the package config it is looking for.

I had two other compilation problems prior to this, with glib.h and gtk.h but managed to go through. This is the last issue I need to resolve to have a fully functional email client in Emacs.

Help!

this worked for me [1]:

add this to ~/.profile (or wherever you take care of this stuff): 

# ~/.profile stuff
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig/:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH"

then source:
$ source ~/.profile

then (assuming you're in the mu dir) voila [2]:
$ ./configure

[1] i have gtk installed via homebrew, installed webkit-gtk3 via macports, and cloned mu from the github repo. running os x 10.9.5

[2] here's the $ ./configure output: 

mu configuration is complete.
