Chromium browser

[Shador]

A first shot at a x64 package for 13.1: http://gaia.homelinux.org/salix/miscpac ... -428ab.txz
Notice, it's only a very first version and also I'm writing this from that chromium build, no guarantees. It's especially missing stuff like icons, menu entry, etc still. If I got some time and feel like it, I might make a SLKBUILD from that SlackBuild thenktor posted incorporating also the changes from his chromium package. And if I get a working 32bit chroot, there might also be a 32bit build.

Don't be careless about building this. Expect around 11GB of memory usage!!! Don't set JOBS higher than your number of cores. I suggest you build with nice -n19 and ccache. The first one hopefully minimizes freezes (your system is unresponsive for hours though) and ccache allows you to rebuild nearly as if it was a normal package (i.e. much less memory usage and a mostly responsive system).

@ Shador: On a short test your package works.

@ all: I'm on a PC running Suse at the moment. I've installed Google Chrome. But now google.de has some damn background image. How do I remove it? I only can find the button to change it.
EDIT: The issue was a google test and not chrome related

SlackBuild was updated...

Just some code reordering and adding spelling mistakes.

Hi,

I created packages containing the chromium web browser. Feel free to use and test them. Please report any bugs, I adapted the build instructions from the build script available at Archlinux. Everything seems to work fine right now.

Do not forget to install solibs package from Seamonkey available by using gslapt.

Also:

Code: Select all

http://darkstar.ist.utl.pt/slackware/addon/slacky/slackware-13.1/network/chromium/

Do not forget to install solibs package from Seamonkey available by using gslapt.

Thank you.

I can't find it in repositories. Is it available?

You can get Chromium from the darkstar.ist.utl.pt repository

Code: Select all

http://darkstar.ist.utl.pt/slackware/addon/slacky/slackware-13.1/

Adding the darkstar.ist.utl.pt repository:
In order to use this repository, you need to add it to your repository lists in /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc:

Code: Select all

SOURCE=http://darkstar.ist.utl.pt/slackware/addon/slacky/slackware-13.1/:CUSTOM

You can of course do the same by using gslapt and editing the repositories list with gslapt's graphical interface.
Next update the slapt-get package database with:

Code: Select all

slapt-get -u

Edit: you might get an error displayed concerning to glibc-solibs

Just download the *.txz file and install it manually :: installpkg *.txz. I deleted Firefox and I am currently using Chrome. I love it!
