Chromium browser

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

[gapan]

No.

Not that I know of. Thenktor had built a package for 13.0, but that should be rather old by now and shouldn't work in 13.1 anyway. If you really want it, you could try building the package yourself. Get the SLKBUILD and BSD-LICENSE files from this location: http://thenktor.dyndns.org/packages/x86 ... -chromium/
edit the SLKBUILD file for the version you want and run slkbuild -X in the same directory. That should hopefully create you a package. No guarantees though.

Hi.
So far I'm not even starting an installation due to an HTTP 404 error and lack of downloading capability.

1. Went first to the x86_64 address you provided, Downloaded both the BSD-LICENSE and the SLKBUILD files, changed the arch to i486 in the SKLBUILD, and got an HTTP 404 error.

2. Then. as I'm using a 32 bit machine and OS, opted to go here http://thenktor.dyndns.org/packages/i48 ... -chromium/ , downloaded again both the BSD-LICENSE and the SLKBUILD, and got again an HTTP 404 error which, which in this and in the previous trial, displayed as:
,

"root[Documents]# slkbuild -X

Any clue on the reason this downloading is failing? Is it me or something else?


Many thanks

Doesn't look like the package version 39352 is available anymore. Try changing the pkgver line in the SLKBUILD file to 49042, which is the latest chromium build at the time of this posting.

[thenktor]

My SLKBUILD is just a rip from an Arch PKGBUILD and it does not build chromium, it just repackages available prebuilt binaries. They probably won't work on 13.1 because of libjpeg problems.

Here is a SlackBuild if anyone wants to build Chromium hisself: https://svn.coredumb.net/listing.php?re ... /chromium/

Hi ... laprjns and gapan

chromium package created by using the x86_64 directory files, and by changing the architecture and packgage version. Resulting ...
" .................................
lackware package /home/meanpt/Documents/google-chromium-49042-i486-1tm.txz created.
Package has been built.
Cleaning pkg and src directories
root[Documents]#
...................................."
... now ... how do I "slap" this package to test the installation/install it? If it doesn't work in 13.1, I'll try it in 13.0


To THENKTOR:

I followed your link, checked the slackbuild for chromium and ... sorry, I'm not up to it.

[thenktor]

installpkg /home/meanpt/Documents/google-chromium-49042-i486-1tm.txz
If it won't work it probably will throw an libjpeg error on startup. You can fix it by installing aaa_elflibs for now.

Building Chromium from source is a huge thing. As far as I remember it will pull 9 GB of sources and building takes ages and uses a lot of RAM.

[meanpt]

... oh, well.

In 13.1, it installed without any error message, is shown in the network menu, but don't run, not even from the terminal prompt. I did install aaa_elflibs, which seemed to be already installed as files were replaced, but again nothing runs.

The same happened in the 13.0 Live. ... oh ,,,,
