Hi !
I'm trying to build it on ARM, but I haven't found a way to remove the invocation of -msse2 -mfpmath=sse -mmmx -msse2 -mfpmath=sse -mmmx so the build obviously fails.
There is nothing in that slackbuild for those flags. Most likely its in your system flags. You can view them maybe
Code:
env
or
Code:
echo "$CFLAGS"
change CFLAGS to other you want to view, off the top of my head I can't remember all of them ( it looks like it is pulling in CRFLAGS). I am not at home to verify anything. Also I believe that they are set in /etc/profile, but I may be mistaken. You can set your own flags to use for while compiling chromium, or modify the slackbuild. Hopefully this is start in right direction, but I havent done too much with slackbuilds yet

At a minimum you should patch that build script. The following sets it for hard float.
If you are using soft float, change the CFLAGS to -O2 -march=armv5te
I don't know if Chromium would build on soft float but you could try!
Code:

I started compilation on a odroid xu4, but this little piece of crap crash when pushed hard on CPU (exynos).
I plan to compile on a real ARM processor (OMAP5) in the next few days. I'll post here the result.
This one had 2G RAM and zero swap. I only added 740MB swap, I'll add more if needed.
That's something I like with ARM machines: no noise, no heat, low current consumption. I can let it compile with serenity :^) .
