Error compiling Chromium

ThePacman · 2014-04-14 13:29:59

I'm trying to compile Chromium.
My makekg.conf is unmodified, except I've added -march=native and -mtune=native to the C/CXXFLAGS and I've uncommented the -j2 makeflag since my machine has two logical processors.

The error is:

  CXX(host) out/Release/obj.host/v8_nosnapshot.x64/gen/libraries.o

I don't know what extra information is needed to solve this error, but to start off with, I'm using gcc 4.8.2-8, lib32-gcc-libs 4.8.2-8, and lib32-zlib 1.2.8-1 (GCC was compiled from source via Yaourt/ABS; the lib32 libraries were downloaded from archlinux.org/packages/)
My system is x86_64.

Not sure what is wrong... could be due to your custom gcc packages? Anyway, as a positive control, why not try compiling in a clean chroot and see if you get the same errors? Try clean-chroot-manager from the AUR. For chromium, you need to enable [multilib] as you know. With ccm it's:

% sudo ccm c
% sudo ccm m
% sudo ccm s

c = create
m = enable multilib
s = compile

It's all in the ccm man page.

ARGH. I cannot get ccm to work.

I'm logged in as james, but running sudo ccm gives me:

$ sudo ccm

 Edit this file before invoking clean-chroot-manager again.
------------------------------------------------------------
su: user  does not exist
$

I've already scoured the manpage, and there has been no configuration file created in any location. There's nothing for me to edit.
I found a reference to $HOMEDIR in /usr/bin/ccm, but even after setting that variable to /home/james, I got the exact same error.

I suspected a problem with it trying to call su, so I tried running it from a login shell, but to no avail.

After much fiddling, I got it working from a VT. It also works with screen. (The problem was it kept trying to call $(logname), which doesn't work from a regular shell.)

It's going to take a while for everything to download (unreliable 6 Mbit DSL with other people using it) so I'll report back once it's finished.

What is the output of the following from your regular shell?

logname

and

id -u -n

logname says 'logname: no login name', even when launching a login shell (zsh -, sudo su --login james, su -l, etc.)
id -u -n says james, and id -u by itself says 1000

If I do everything from within a screen or a VT, though, logname works.

I got the CCM program working, and started to get Chromium compiling when it complained there was no chromium.install file.
The problem was my umask of 027, so I discarded that and made the build folder publicly accessible, but when I run sudo ccm s I get this:

Not sure what's going on with the logname issue... I cannot replicate on my box. Post the output of `cat ~/.config/clean-chroot-manager.conf`
