thanks to .yankee suggestion chromium compiles fine, but fails to install:

scons: *** [/var/tmp/paludis/www-client-chromium-9999/work/chromium-9999/src/src/sconsbuild/Release/libavcodec.so.52] Source `/var/tmp/paludis/www-client-chromium-9999/work/chromium-9999/src/src/sconsbuild/Release/obj/third_party/ffmpeg/binaries/chromium/libavcodec.so.52' not found, needed by target `/var/tmp/paludis/www-client-chromium-9999/work/chromium-9999/src/src/sconsbuild/Release/libavcodec.so.52'.
scons: building terminated because of errors.

and it's really weird that third_party dir has just a few subdirs, and third_party from /usr/distfiles has many more subdirs, why they didn't get copied over?

what ebuild do you use? the one that was removed from THE?

Is there any way to make it compile on a 64 bits system? thx

Soya: Look at this document: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/LinuxChromium64

.yankee: I just ran memtest86+ for 1 pass with no errors. I'll let it run overnight pretty soon, but if it crashes it might be because my
laptop has some overheating problems. My GCC version is 4.3.2. I use -Os for most programs but some of them I compile with -O2 or
-O3. I haven't done anything with ldflags. I'm pretty sure I don't have any unusual kernel settings, but I'm going to compile a new kernel
as soon as gentoo-sources gets the 2.6.30.5 patchset which has an important security fix. Here is my latest error from the latest
chromium-bin (0_p22046):

[6416:6419:225804116:FATAL:/b/slave/chromium-rel-linux/build/src/chrome/browser/renderer_host/async_resource_handler.cc(86)] Check failed: read_buffer_->data().

This happens as soon as the browser opens. The (non-bin) chromium ebuild didn't compile for me last time I tried it.

bah...yeah, I'm having seemingly unrelated issues on 64bit

was hoping to get it built at least, even if using a shred of 32bit libs

ah, neat. Cheers mate, I'll sync and have a go.

EDIT: is mine buggered, or is the manifest not updated?

For 64 bit support use this ebuild:

switching to the vanilla specs and adding -DfPIC to the ebuild didn't fix it:

The 64-bit ebuild built chome perfectly. That said, chome (the whole browser, not just tabs) crashes left right and center, especially on javascript heavy sites, and I couldn't even finish typing up this post in it without crashing before a submit. No real surprise there as the 64-bit version of V8 is probably quite raw. I'm definitely looking forward to some serious stability fixes down the road.

I was however quite stunned at how big the svn checkout of chromium was:

How do I obtain gclient eclass? I've installed gclient, but it's not enough :(

[Sorry for asking for basics...]

hi, I am just trying to emerge chromium, and get this error:

Try going to the effected folder any type svn cleanup

IF this doesn't fix it you may need to start deleting stuff

When I start chromium it crashes immediately with this error :

Those experiencing chromium crashing on startup might want to consider this bug report:

http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=20280

If you build from source then a fix for that bug is to edit src/chrome/browser/zygote_main_linux.cc and simply delete the functions localtime() and localtime_r().

After removing the source directory and redownloading, chromium now compiles for me. I'm still getting the runtime errors though.
Rmh, can you add a working debug use flag to the ebuild so we can debug chromium runtime errors with gdb? And if you are going to add that patch, could you make it only apply with the 'patch' use flag set? Thanks.

Those that experience the crash at startup problem, can you compile and run the test program located at http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=16800#c38 ? I think it's highly unlikely the dynamic linker is responsible for this, but this may help finding the problem if we can at least confirm this is not the cause

On my boxes (~x86 and ~amd64), I can't reproduce the problem...

Those that experience the crash at startup problem, are you using the nvidia OpenGL implementation?
