No Bug: MaxIDE/libwebkit linking problem on Ubuntu 19

[mbergmann-sh]

When trying to compile MaxIDE, I encounter a linking problem on Ubuntu 19. This distro uses libwekit-4, while NG expects libwekit-3. In order to even run precompiled MaxIDE, I had to create a symbolic link:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libwebkitgtk-3.0.so.0 -> libwebkit2gtk-4.0.so

Now, when compiling anything that uses libwebkit ar/ld complain about missing libwebkit-3.0:
/usr/bin/ld: -lwebkitgtk-3.0 cannot be found.
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Where can I change the linker's demand in order to use libwekit-4.0 instead?

The latest (maxide/maxgui) sources (and therefore in the next release) are now building against webkit2gtk, which should resolve this issue on most recently distros.
