how install google-chrome on salix 13.1

[petitbob]

hello,
In recent months, I now use as the default browser Google Chrome instead of Firefox. I find it more responsive, lighter and easier to use. I installed it on Debian Squeeze, Fedora and Mandriva 2010.1 without problem. Things got worse with Salix 13.1. No package is in custody as for Slackware 13.1 of Salix to 13.1. So I started in this facility with the help of research on google.fr. What helped me find everything I needed to install and properly use Google Chrome on Salix 13.1.
There is no need to install some dependencies as Salix 01.13: ORBit2, GConf and mozilla-nss. But for Slackware 13.1, it is necessary to install first from slackbuilds.org .

The first step is to create symlinks in / usr / lib:

#ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/libnss3.so /usr/lib/libnss3.so.1d
#ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/libnssutil3.so /usr/lib/libnssutil3.so.1d
#ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/libsmime3.so /usr/lib/libsmime3.so.1d
#ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/libssl3.so /usr/lib/libssl3.so.1d
#ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/libplds4.so /usr/lib/libplds4.so.0d
#ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/libplc4.so /usr/lib/libplc4.so.0d
#ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/libnspr4.so /usr/lib/libnspr4.so.0d
#ln -s /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.8 /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62

The second step is the installation of Google Chrome-from slackbuilds.org .

1 - Download Google-Chrome.Slackbuild on slackbuilds.org : you should download google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb or google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb depending on its processor, and google-chrome.tar.gz .

2 - Extract the file google-chrome.tar.gz: a file "google-chrome" is created in the working directory.

#tar zxf google-chrome.tar.gz

3 - Copy google-chrome-stable_currentxxx.deb in the directory "google-chrome":

#cp google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb google-chrome

4 - Building the Slackware Google Chrome: it must first make the package google-chrome.SlackBuild executable.

#cd google-chrome
#chmod +x google-chrome.SlackBuild
#./google-chrome.SlackBuild

opt/google/chrome/chrome

install/ i
nstall/doinst.sh
install/slack-desc
Slackware package /tmp/google-chrome-5.0.375.55-i386-1_SBo.tgz created.

5 - Install package google-chrome-5.0.375.55-i386-1_SBo.tgz:

#installpkg /tmp/google-chrome-5.0.375.55-i386-1_SBo.tgz
Verifying package google-chrome-5.0.375.55-i386-1_SBo.tgz.
Installing package google-chrome-5.0.375.55-i386-1_SBo.tgz:
PACKAGE DESCRIPTION: PACKAGE DETAILS:

Executing install script for google-chrome-5.0.375.55-i386-1_SBo.tgz.

Now you can use Google Chrome on-Salix 13.01!

BTW: We had some packages around here, that do not need the symlinks.

Anyways, thanks a lot for this tip
