Before I attempt to install the chromium (9.0.597.107) SlackBuild, I have questions.
Hello:
I have installed all the dependencies and sub dependencies for the chromium (9.0.597.107) SlackBuild. The instructions suggest running: Code:
cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i sse2 Code:
bash-4.1# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -i sse2 Does this mean that I *should not* use: NO_SSE2=1 ./chromium.SlackBuild Is that correct? Thanks, |
Correct, yet is there any reason why you would not use the latest stable version?:
http://build.chromium.org/official/c...42.112.tar.bz2 http://googlechromereleases.blogspot...able%20updates |

I could be wrong on the following... I am trying to keep my Slackware 13.37 100% 'official'. I have read that this means that I should only use SlackBuilds and Slackware approved repositories like Alien Bob's site. I can only find the chromium web browser (not the google chrome browser) at SlackBuilds, so, whatever version is there is the one I should install, right? |
Correct me if I'm wrong, both SBo and Eric's packages are not supported officially.

That is for the 'google chrome' browser, which is not the same as the 'chromium' browser. I used to have both installed and I found the chromium browser to be faster. Actually, I did install google chrome from extras - it does not launch. I am pretty certain that I followed the readme instructions to the letter but, no lift-off. The icon just bounces around for a while and disappears. The reason that I am asking questions before I try to install the chromium SlackBuild is that it takes close to an hour for it to do its' thing on my PC. The last time I tried to install it, a few days ago, it took the hour and then didn't work - probably something I did, or, didn't do. Anyway, I'm about to give it another try. |

/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome |
It has been over an hour and the SlackBuild still has not finished doing whatever it is that it does!

That's what is so nice about repackaging the .deb, it is so quick. |

Have you installed the rest of the packages in /extra/google-chrome/? ftp://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/slackware/s...1.3-i486-1.txz ftp://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/slackware/s....19-i486-1.txz ftp://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/slackware/s...2.1-i486-1.txz Just imagine how many fixes have been made between chromium-9.0.597.107.tar.bz2 18-Feb-2011 02:46 135M and chromium-12.0.742.112.tar.bz2 24-Jun-2011 01:29 144M plus it saves a bit of time. |
