 |
|
Hi folks
I'm trying to install Chromium because of ALSA problems with Firefox. But it fails with messages that I can't even begin to understand (attached). What, in particular, in | Code: | | screencast? ( wayland ) |
?
BR, Lars.
| Code: |
!!! The ebuild selected to satisfy "chromium" has unmet requirements.
- www-client/chromium-126.0.6478.57::gentoo USE="X cups hangouts official proprietary-codecs qt5 screencast system-harfbuzz system-icu system-png system-toolchain system-zstd vaapi widevine -bindist -custom-cflags -debug -ffmpeg-chromium -gtk4 (-headless) -kerberos (-libcxx) (-lto) -pax-kernel (-pgo) -pulseaudio -qt6 (-selinux) -wayland" ABI_X86="(64)" L10N="af am ar bg bn ca cs da de el en-GB es es-419 et fa fi fil fr gu he hi hr hu id it ja kn ko lt lv ml mr ms nb nl pl pt-BR pt-PT ro ru sk sl sr sv sw ta te th tr uk ur vi zh-CN zh-TW"
The following REQUIRED_USE flag constraints are unsatisfied:
screencast? ( wayland )
The above constraints are a subset of the following complete expression:
!headless? ( any-of ( X wayland ) ) pgo? ( X !wayland ) qt6? ( qt5 ) screencast? ( wayland ) !system-toolchain? ( libcxx ) ffmpeg-chromium? ( bindist proprietary-codecs )

Does that mean that Chromium is a non-starter, in a system that does not support Wayland?

| Using Chromium with screencast enabled and Wayland support disabled is a non-starter, whether or not the system supports Wayland. If you don't want to build Wayland support, then disable screencast support. |

OK, thanks. Building now. If all goes well, I'll report back in, maybe, two days. If it doesn't get well, I might be reporting back sooner

I'm considering this 'solved' because I was able to get the build to start. But, after three days of running at full capacity, and still no end in sight, I gave up, and installed a binary release from an overlay.

| I would recommend using google-chrome if you want a binary version of Chromium, rather than a binary built by a stranger. |

All the binaries I use are built by strangers, apart from the ones I build myself. And then I'm building them from source written by strangers.
Whom do I distrust less -- Google, or a complete unknown? That's a tricky one...

If you can't see the difference between using official Gentoo binaries from e.g. a stage3 and a random overlay, I'm not sure I can provide further clarity. |
