Chromium revisited

[spot]

It's been more than a year since I've had a successful build of Chromium that I was willing to share with anyone else, but last night I pushed out a Fedora 20 x86_64 build of the current stable Chromium. Here's where you can go and get it

Spot - Thank you for taking the time to build Chromium. I have compiled from source, but my adventures have been *very* simple. I completely understand your frustration with the hurdles put in the way of anyone wanting to build Chromium from source as they appear to go against all that is sane and good. :D

I currently use Chromium as an alternative browser, in case I have difficulty with Firefox, so really appreciate having it available.

Thanks for building it again, hower it does not render anything (intel graphics) :( Well, back to churchyard build. :/

It works fine for me on my latop with Intel graphics.

Thanks for building chromium as close to fedora standards as possible!

Is there a way to get pepperflash working? I have the library, but it doesn't seem to be picked up and is not shown in about:plugins. In what path would chromium be looking for the plugin?

I've gotten it working by putting the pepperflash plugin (from the corresponding chrome build) into /usr/lib64/chromium-browser/plugins, then passing the --ppapi-flash-path explicitly:

# chromium-browser --ppapi-flash-path=/usr/lib64/chromium-browser/plugins/libpepflashplayer.so

Thanks! Works like a charm.

[ext_2768828]

Thanks a lot. Very useful.

Holy Cow! Thanks for going through all that trouble and for giving so much insight into the process.
