Chromium-64.0.3282.186

Installation of Chromium

Enable the use of the WideVine plugin, needed for Netflix support (see the WideVine section below). Define an available product name ("Pinkie Pie" in this case) with the following command:

line='#define WIDEVINE_CDM_VERSION_STRING "Pinkie Pie"' 
sed "/WIDEVINE_CDM_AVAILABLE/a$line" \
    -i third_party/widevine/cdm/stub/widevine_cdm_version.h

Optionally silence several (2000+) invalid warnings:

sed '/static_assert/s:^://:' \
    -i third_party/WebKit/Source/platform/wtf/text/TextCodec.h

Fix a build issue with recent versions of GCC:

patch -Np1 -i ../chromium-64.0.3282.186-constexpr-1.patch

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

for LIB in flac freetype harfbuzz-ng libjpeg \
           libjpeg_turbo libwebp libxslt yasm; do
    find -type f -path "*third_party/$LIB/*"      \
        \! -path "*third_party/$LIB/chromium/*"   \
        \! -path "*third_party/$LIB/google/*"     \
        \! -path "*base/third_party/icu/*"        \
        \! -path './third_party/yasm/run_yasm.py' \
        \! -regex '.*\.\(gn\|gni\|isolate\|py\)'  \
        \! -path './third_party/freetype/src/src/psnames/pstables.h' \
        -delete
done &&

python build/linux/unbundle/replace_gn_files.py     \
    --system-libraries flac libjpeg libxml libevent \
                       libwebp libxslt opus 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"'

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 commands:

mkdir -p third_party/node/linux/node-linux-x64/bin &&
ln -s /usr/bin/node third_party/node/linux/node-linux-x64/bin/ &&
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 package:

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               &&

                /usr/lib/chromium/                            &&

                /usr/lib/chromium/icudtl.dat                  &&

Extracting the WideVine plugin from Chrome

Extract the downloaded deb file with the following commands:

mkdir temp                                         &&
cd temp                                            &&
case $(uname -m) in
    x86_64) ar -x ../../google-chrome-stable_64.0.3282.186-1_amd64.deb
    ;;
    i?86)   ar -x ../../google-chrome-stable_48.0.2564.116-1_i386.deb
    ;;
esac

As the root user, enable the WideVine plugin with the following commands:

tar -xf data.tar.xz                                                        &&
install -vm755 ../out/Release/libwidevinecdmadapter.so /usr/lib/chromium/  &&
install -vm755 opt/google/chrome/libwidevinecdm.so  /usr/lib/chromium/
