Jerry, it looks to me like cmake wants gcc v.4.9.0, but you've got 
v.2.14.7.  You could find and download gcc v.4.9.0 and install it, say, 
to /usr/local/bin/ and adjust the makefile or args to cmake 
accordingly... or maybe it wouldn't even need any of that.

There might be, but I have no idea even what webkit does... and I've 
even got webkitgtk3 installed and didn't know it was there... looking 
around in the "Applications" menu and in the files included in the 
package, I couldn't find a way to launch it or any documentation about 
it.  Unless somebody argues really good with me, I'll probably think I 
don't need it.  :)  So better way for what?

No charge, it's open source.
