Where to find Webkit2gtk-4.1 (required when building on Mac)

Greetings,

Started trying to build GC on a Mac (Sonoma 14.7.6)-as laid down on the current https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/MacOS/Quartz

Managed to do gtk-os-setup.sh, jhbuild bootstrap-gtk-os and jhbuild build.
Now Cmake, executing CMakeLists.txt,  complains about requiring webkit2gtk-4.1, which is not found by peg-config and which I find nowhere in the installed prerequisites and am unable to find on the net.
Homebrew complains „this needs Linux“ when attempting to install webkitgtk, instead.

Any advice?

Cheers

J W
