All, I'll probably blog this, but I've been doing a little bit of playing trying to get the Chrome web browser built on F17. The x86 source rpms can be found at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Chromium. The list of packages is:
Attempting to build these (so far): - jsoncpp - built, no modifications
- v8 - missing dependencies
- readline-devel is needed by v8-1:3.11.10.20-1.fc17.armv7hl
- libicu-devel is needed by v8-1:3.11.10.20-1.fc17.armv7hl
- builds after missing dependencies sorted
- webrt
- lots of missing dependencies, easy to fix with "yum install"
- Compiles a lot then gives up with "error: unrecognized command line option '-msse2'" gcc option. As this is an x86 compiler flag, should be easy to track down and remove.
- nacl-binutils- Architecture is not included: armv7hl
- I'll try adding support for armv7hl into the spec file and see what happens next
- chromium -
- Architecture is not included: armv7hl
- chromium.spec includes the line "ExclusiveArch: %{ix86} arm x86_64"
- Fixed this (by adding "armv7hl" to the list of architectures and it then fails because of build dependencies
- chromium-ffmepegsumo
- Missing ARM directories - the solution may be to use the 'standard' ffmpeg library, but may miss some things
I'll carry on playing but it occurs to me that starting with the Ubuntu source tree may be quicker / cleaner. I'll see how far I get down this route so far. I'm using a large external disk as 8Gb just isn't enough for this; I may experiment using an external usb spinny-disk and just run that as my main development system.
