Yes, it is installed.

Anyway it solved now,

i had to substitute ${GTKINC} and ${GTKLIB}
with their respective value.

Mickey on a freebsd forum told me that it failed because
i used make and
        GTKINC=$(shell pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0 webkit-1.0)
        GTKLIB=$(shell pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0 webkit-1.0)
are gmake specific and if i had used :
        GTKINC=`pkg-config --cflags gtk+-2.0 webkit-1.0`
        GTKLIB=`pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0 webkit-1.0`
It would have built with both make and gmake.

I'm surprised as it always build fine on my debian
with the original Makefile, maybe make is gmake like
on debian?

It gives a little issue, freebsd webkit version is 1.1.15.4 or something,
surf segfaults with it when displaying local files,
no problem with webpage.
I guess i have to downgrade webkit a bit.
