Hi,

you need to build the discontinued vulnerable webkit. Building it could
take very long, see those Arch Linux FAQ

"Q: How much I want to wait to a successful compilation?

A: It varies of your PC's processor and RAM, the times shared in the
    comments are as follow:

    3.5 hours to build on core i5 laptop with 8G of RAM, makeflags j4.

    13.5 hours to build on AMD Athlon X2, makeflags j1 (@Bonnietwin).

    5-6 hours on Core2Duo E8400 with 8GB RAM, makeflags j2 (tuxsavvy).

    50 minutes on 6c/12t 3.3GHz (@kubrick)." -

When finished you need to build Claws against it. Building Claws is
easy to do do and doesn't take much time. However, the obsolete version
of webkit is vulnerable and not maintained by upstream anymore.

Ralf
