[SOLVED] How to compile chromium using Alien's script ?

Linux.tar.gz · 08-29-2016, 11:53 AM

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

I checked for the sake of being exhaustive, but no flags like that in the env.

I have the same behavior with the SBo script.

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:

Thanks a lot, looking at your diff I saw a noob-esque mistake in mine !
It's actually compiling on -current.

Please let us know when it's complete and whether it's worth building - i.e. is it fast enough?

thanks

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.

Linux.tar.gz · 09-02-2016, 06:10 AM

Compiling since a few hours.

I had to remove the -mfpu=vfpv3-d16 flag as it make the compilation fail.
To be continued...

I added a bit of SWAP to see if it's linked to a lack of memory.

Looks like a lack of memory indeed.

My build machines have 1GB RAM and 3GB swap.

Linux.tar.gz · 09-02-2016, 02:29 PM

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 :^) .

Linux.tar.gz · 09-03-2016, 03:10 AM

It had indeed not enough RAM as the build went further, then stop again. New try with 9G RAM.

Maybe lack of RAM again.
I heard once that even with a lot of swap, link can fail if not enough RAM.
Any suggestion ?

dmesg will tell you what was killed and why.
