Like I was told in IRC freenode. I wonder if supercollider really needs
qt4 instead of qt5 or if qtwebkit is the MIT-license of the webkits:
they say qtwebkit, but what they really mean is qtwebengine.
I'll ask on their mailinglist.

I think QtWebkit has been removed from Qt in favor of the QtWebEngine
(based on Chromium?).

So it should still be possible to compile the source code.  I downloaded
the source code and tried to compile it but I couldn't find any 'find
. -name "*webkit*"' at all!

Where is qtwebkit?

[ng0]

I am currently packaging supercollider, and it would be nice to have
qtwebkit... but I can't find it for Guix. How do I use it in a packaging
defition? Do we have it at all? Is someone working on it? I've read a
thread where someone pointed out it was moved but that was of no help
either.

* Qt >= 5.3 (+ qtwebkit)
   * http://qt-project.org
   * cross-platform graphical user interface library, for Qt IDE and sclang's 
Qt GUI kit
