If you want to install your own build of WebKit2GTK+, you should not use
neither the internal jhbuild nor the build-webkit script.

You should use CMake directly and build against the libraries of your
system.

Also, unless you want to hack on it or use trunk for any specific
reason, its better that you pick one of the released tarballs
<https://webkitgtk.org/releases> and build that instead.

And if you are going to use released tarballs in the end, then another
idea is to switch to a distribution that includes recent WebKit2GTK+
versions already packaged (like Fedora), so you can install it directly
from the distro repository without needed to build it.
