Installation of Chromium

Fix a build issue on Linux-4.5+:

sed 's/#include <sys\/mman\.h>/&\n\n#if defined(MADV_FREE)\n#undef MADV_FREE\n#endif\n/' \
    -i third_party/WebKit/Source/wtf/allocator/PageAllocator.cpp

Fix a build issue with GCC-6:

sed "s/^config(\"compiler\") {/&\ncflags_cc = [ \"-fno-delete-null-pointer-checks\" ]/" \
    -i build/config/linux/BUILD.gn

If you'd like to enable the use of the WideVine plugin, needed for Netflix support (see the WideVine section below), you'll need to define an available product name ("Pinkie Pie" in this case) with the following command:

sed "s/WIDEVINE_CDM_AVAILABLE/&\n\n#define WIDEVINE_CDM_VERSION_STRING \"Pinkie Pie\"/" \
    -i third_party/widevine/cdm/stub/widevine_cdm_version.h

Remove third-party build files that interfere with system versions:

for LIB in flac harfbuzz-ng libwebp libxslt yasm; do
    find -type f -path "*third_party/$LIB/*" \
        \! -path "*third_party/$LIB/chromium/*" \
        \! -path "*third_party/$LIB/google/*" \
        \! -regex '.*\.\(gn\|gni\|isolate\|py\)' \
        -delete
done &&

python build/linux/unbundle/replace_gn_files.py \
    --system-libraries flac harfbuzz-ng libwebp libxslt yasm

Chromium uses an internal tool, gn, to generate the Ninja build files. Complete configuration of the build using the following commands:

GN_CONFIG=("google_api_key=\"AIzaSyDxKL42zsPjbke5O8_rPVpVrLrJ8aeE9rQ\""
"google_default_client_id=\"595013732528-llk8trb03f0ldpqq6nprjp1s79596646.apps.googleusercontent.com\""
"google_default_client_secret=\"5ntt6GbbkjnTVXx-MSxbmx5e\""
'clang_use_chrome_plugins=false'
'enable_hangout_services_extension=true'
'enable_nacl=false'
'enable_nacl_nonsfi=false'
'enable_widevine=true'
'fatal_linker_warnings=false'
'ffmpeg_branding="Chrome"'
'fieldtrial_testing_like_official_build=true'
'is_debug=false'
'is_clang=false'
'link_pulseaudio=true'
'linux_use_bundled_binutils=false'
'proprietary_codecs=true'
'remove_webcore_debug_symbols=true'
'symbol_level=0'
'treat_warnings_as_errors=false'
'use_allocator="none"'

'use_gnome_keyring=false'
'use_gold=false'
'use_gtk3=false'
'use_kerberos=true'
'use_pulseaudio=true'
'use_sysroot=false')

Build gn and use it to prepare the Ninja build files:

python tools/gn/bootstrap/bootstrap.py --gn-gen-args "${GN_CONFIG[*]}" &&
out/Release/gn gen out/Release --args="${GN_CONFIG[*]}"

Build Chromium using the following command:

ninja -C out/Release chrome chrome_sandbox chromedriver widevinecdmadapter

This package was already tested as part of the build.

Now, as the root user, install the pacakage:

install -vDm755  out/Release/chrome \
                 /usr/lib/chromium/chromium                   &&
install -vDm4755 out/Release/chrome_sandbox \
                 /usr/lib/chromium/chrome-sandbox             &&
install -vDm755  out/Release/chromedriver \
                 /usr/lib/chromium/chromedriver               &&
ln -svf /usr/lib/chromium/chromium /usr/bin                   &&
ln -svf /usr/lib/chromium/chromedriver /usr/bin/              &&

install -vm755 out/Release/libwidevinecdmadapter.so \
               /usr/lib/chromium/                             &&
install -vDm644 out/Release/icudtl.dat /usr/lib/chromium      &&
install -vDm644 out/Release/gen/content/content_resources.pak \
                /usr/lib/chromium/                            &&
install -vm644 out/Release/{*.pak,*.bin} \
               /usr/lib/chromium/                             &&

cp -av out/Release/locales /usr/lib/chromium/                 &&
chown -Rv root:root /usr/lib/chromium/locales                 &&

install -vDm644 out/Release/chrome.1 \
                /usr/share/man/man1/chromium.1

While still the root user, install icons and the .desktop file:

for size in 16 32; do
    install -vDm644 \
        "chrome/app/theme/default_100_percent/chromium/product_logo_$size.png" \
        "/usr/share/icons/hicolor/${size}x${size}/apps/chromium.png"
done &&

for size in 22 24 48 64 128 256; do
    install -vDm644 "chrome/app/theme/chromium/product_logo_$size.png" \
        "/usr/share/icons/hicolor/${size}x${size}/apps/chromium.png"
done &&

Chromium Launcher

Chromium Launcher is a wrapper for chromium that allows use of the Pepper Flash plugin. If you intend to use the Pepper Flash plugin, build Chromium Launcher by running the following commands:

tar -xf ../chromium-launcher-3.tar.gz &&
cd chromium-launcher-3                &&
make PREFIX=/usr

Install Chromium Launcher with the following commands (as the root user):

rm -f /usr/bin/chromium        &&
make PREFIX=/usr install-strip &&
cd ..

Extracting the WideVine plugin from Chrome

ar -x ../../google-chrome-stable_56.0.2924.87*.deb &&
tar -xf data.tar.xz

As the root user, install the WideVine plugin with the following command:

install -vm755 opt/google/chrome/libwidevinecdm.so \
    /usr/lib/chromium/

Installing the Pepper Flash plugin:

Extract the Flash Player plugin with the following command:

tar -xf ../../flash_player_ppapi_linux.*.tar.gz
