You have several chromium packages in AUR.

chromium-snapshot is in aur. there is also a build that is using deb chromium-browser.

chromium-browser pkgbuild is broken. here's my edit for 64bit: http://pastebin.com/f22057da3
to install it for 32bit, just change the arch and the dependencies according to the original chromium-browser pkgbuild
it works just fine, but instead of characters there are squares (only in the interface, pages are rendered fine). has anyone an idea what may be wrong? or maybe, am i (nearly) the only one with that problem? there are people who don't have the same problem, but used the same pkgbuild as long as it worked.

lol, it's not even alpha.
anyway, -browser is broken and -snapshot-autoupdated doesn't work under 64bit. -snapshot works! and no more square characters!
the problem is, the if [ "${CARCH}" = 'x86_64' ] construction doesn't work for me! echo ${CARCH} returns an empty line. who should set that variable? so, i just have to remove everything manually, just leaving the needed deps...
and a problem with the -snapshot pkgbuild is that it's set to a certain release. so, i'd say somebody needs to merge the -snapshot script with -snapshot-autoupdated version hack

ku: CARCH should be defined in /etc/makepkg.conf.

hmmmh.... and it is:

CARCH="x86_64"
CHOST="x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu"

so why doesn't it work? yaourt's bug?

64 is not working as it stands

Yes browser is very early in development for linux but testing it helps developers

Running 3.0.183.0 (0) atm under Ubuntu

I'm running that version too here on arch and I gotta say it's... FAST! pretty damn FAST. It's almost has no features, but it renders the webpages amazingly fast. It has no plugins like flash or any changable setting at all but... I've been using it for three days and I have to say I'm really surprised how well it works.

PS: and it starts really fast too! Good job google!

Mr Green · 2009-05-31 16:48:07

Its a daily build on Ubuntu so some features are getting added all the time

As you say its Fast..... but that maybe because of lack of features
