Research direction

Start by locating the build configuration that issues the pkg-config request for javascriptcoregtk-4.1 and compare it with the platform versions described in the report. Confirm the supported WebKitGTK and JavaScriptCore package names on FreeBSD, then verify that the project builds successfully with the selected dependency version.

Describe the bug

pkg-config exited with status code 1
  > PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_SYSTEM_CFLAGS=1 pkg-config --libs --cflags javascriptcoregtk-4.1 javascriptcoregtk-4.1 >= 2.38

javascriptcoregtk-4.x is installed by webkit2-gtk3.
javascriptcoregtk-5.0 is installed by webkit2-gtk4.

It seems that we only have webkit2-gtk3-2.34.6 that installs javascriptcoregtk-4.0

Why don't you switch to the latest javascriptcoregtk-5.0 ?
