Chrome

Perhaps I'll try to package this tomorrow, but the source tree has 800 MB zipped. Not nice for our source repo

go for it! I would give up OO and would add Abiword instead....this would balance the equation.

It would be nice to see Salix offering Chrome as the defacto browser!!!!! May be???? Good luck.

make fails with following error:

CXX(target) out/Debug/obj.target/webcore/third_party/WebKit/WebCore/platform/image-encoders/skia/PNGImageEncoder.o

Perhaps someone wants to search for solution

EDIT: found patch here http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29440

I've succesfully built chrome on Salix current, but I won't do it again until I get more RAM. The linker process at the end of compilation filled my 2 GB RAM completly and my 2 GB swap for about 80 %. This leaves my PC in an ansolutely unusable state for about 2 hours.
Conclusion: building Chromium with less than 4 GB RAM? Forget it

EDIT: Just found out that I've build the debug version, that results in a 527 MB binary. For the release version the linker may be faster. After stripping the binary is only 74 MB, which still is huge, but chromium doesn't have any additional libs. Probably the reason why it starts so fast.

DId you use sbopkg or slackbuild??? Chrome is the only browser that offers true sandboxing....I wait!
