Chromium is an open-source browser project that aims to build a safer, faster, and more stable way for all users to experience the web.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-8.2 platform.

User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/chromium
Enable the use of the WideVine plugin, needed for Netflix support (see the WideVine section below). Define an available product name ("Pinkie Pie" in this case) with the following command:
line='#define WIDEVINE_CDM_VERSION_STRING "Pinkie Pie"' sed "/WIDEVINE_CDM_AVAILABLE/a$line" \ -i third_party/widevine/cdm/stub/widevine_cdm_version.h
Optionally silence several (2000+) invalid warnings:
sed '/static_assert/s:^://:' \ -i third_party/WebKit/Source/platform/wtf/text/TextCodec.h
Fix a build issue with recent versions of GCC:
patch -Np1 -i ../chromium-64.0.3282.186-constexpr-1.patch
Remove third-party build files that interfere with system versions:
Chromium uses many external projects, the selections below are not set in stone, however they have been tested thoroughly. With Chromium 64.0.3282.186, system versions of libvpx, libxml2, and zlib are known to break the build at this time.

Chromium uses an internal tool, gn, to generate the Ninja build files. Complete configuration of the build using the following commands:
The Google API Key and OAuth tokens below are specific to LFS. If using these instructions for another distro, or if you intend to distribute binary copies of the software using these instructions, please obtain your own keys following the instructions located at http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/api-keys.
GN_CONFIG=('google_api_key="AIzaSyDxKL42zsPjbke5O8_rPVpVrLrJ8aeE9rQ"' 'google_default_client_id="595013732528-llk8trb03f0ldpqq6nprjp1s79596646.apps.googleusercontent.com"' 'google_default_client_secret="5ntt6GbbkjnTVXx-MSxbmx5e"' 'clang_use_chrome_plugins=false' 'enable_hangout_services_extension=true' 'enable_nacl=false' 'enable_nacl_nonsfi=false' 'enable_swiftshader=false' 'enable_widevine=true' 'fatal_linker_warnings=false' 'ffmpeg_branding="Chrome"' 'fieldtrial_testing_like_official_build=true' 'is_debug=false' 'is_clang=false' 'link_pulseaudio=true' 'linux_use_bundled_binutils=false' 'proprietary_codecs=true' 'remove_webcore_debug_symbols=true' 'symbol_level=0' 'treat_warnings_as_errors=false' 'use_allocator="none"' 'use_cups=true' 'use_gconf=false' 'use_gnome_keyring=false' 'use_gold=false' 'use_gtk3=true' 'use_kerberos=true' 'use_pulseaudio=true' 'use_sysroot=false' 'use_system_freetype=true' 'use_system_harfbuzz=true')
Build gn and use it to prepare the Ninja build files:
python tools/gn/bootstrap/bootstrap.py --gn-gen-args "${GN_CONFIG[*]}" && out/Release/gn gen out/Release --args="${GN_CONFIG[*]}"
Ninja, by default, sets the number of jobs to the number of
available threads. If your machine is memory constrained, with
regard to number of threads, you should reduce the number of jobs
by passing the -j#
switch
to the ninja
command below. Plan for roughly 1.25GB per thread while linking
WebKit to avoid out of memory
errors.
Build Chromium using the following commands:
mkdir -p third_party/node/linux/node-linux-x64/bin && ln -s /usr/bin/node third_party/node/linux/node-linux-x64/bin/ && ninja -C out/Release chrome chrome_sandbox chromedriver widevinecdmadapter
This package was already tested as part of the build.
Now, as the root
user, install the
package:
install -vDm755 out/Release/chrome \ /usr/lib/chromium/chromium && install -vDm4755 out/Release/chrome_sandbox \ /usr/lib/chromium/chrome-sandbox && install -vDm755 out/Release/chromedriver \ /usr/lib/chromium/chromedriver && ln -svf /usr/lib/chromium/chromium /usr/bin && ln -svf /usr/lib/chromium/chromedriver /usr/bin && install -vDm644 out/Release/gen/content/content_resources.pak \ /usr/lib/chromium/ && install -vDm644 out/Release/icudtl.dat \ /usr/lib/chromium/icudtl.dat && install -vDm644 out/Release/{*.pak,*.bin} \ /usr/lib/chromium/ && sed -i \ -e "s/@@MENUNAME@@/Chromium/g" \ -e "s/@@PACKAGE@@/chromium/g" \ -e "s/@@USR_BIN_SYMLINK_NAME@@/chromium/g" \ chrome/installer/linux/common/desktop.template \ chrome/app/resources/manpage.1.in && install -vDm644 chrome/installer/linux/common/desktop.template \ /usr/share/applications/chromium.desktop && install -vDm644 chrome/app/resources/manpage.1.in \ /usr/share/man/man1/chromium.1 && cp -av out/Release/locales /usr/lib/chromium/ && chown -Rv root:root /usr/lib/chromium/locales && for size in 16 32; do install -vDm644 \ "chrome/app/theme/default_100_percent/chromium/product_logo_$size.png" \ "/usr/share/icons/hicolor/${size}x${size}/apps/chromium.png" done && for size in 22 24 48 64 128 256; do install -vDm644 "chrome/app/theme/chromium/product_logo_$size.png" \ "/usr/share/icons/hicolor/${size}x${size}/apps/chromium.png" done
If upgrading from a previous build of chromium using gtk+-2.x,
you may need to remove the ~/.config/chromium
directory.
Extract the downloaded deb file with the following commands:
mkdir temp && cd temp && case $(uname -m) in x86_64) ar -x ../../google-chrome-stable_64.0.3282.186-1_amd64.deb ;; i?86) ar -x ../../google-chrome-stable_48.0.2564.116-1_i386.deb ;; esac
As the root
user, enable the
WideVine plugin with the following commands:
tar -xf data.tar.xz && install -vm755 ../out/Release/libwidevinecdmadapter.so /usr/lib/chromium/ && install -vm755 opt/google/chrome/libwidevinecdm.so /usr/lib/chromium/
GN_CONFIG=(...): this array contains all of the defines used in the build.
python
tools/gn/bootstrap/bootstrap.py --gn-gen-args
"${GN_CONFIG[*]}": this command replaces defines in
the gn files with the values contained in ${GN_CONFIG[@]}
.
out/Release/gn gen out/Release --args="${GN_CONFIG[*]}": this command runs a Google provided configuration script gn on the source tree to produce a Ninja configuration suitable for the build machine.
mkdir...ln -s /usr/bin/node third_party/node/linux/node-linux-x64/bin/: these commands replaced the local Node.js (no longer available) with the system installed Node.js.
ar -x ../../google-chrome-stable*.deb: the ar utility is used to extract Debian archives.
