This repo is for the packaging only, I can't provide general build support. All I can say is that I was able to get it to cross-compile using the instructions included in the patch a long time ago, before I switched to native builds.
How long does native compiling take? Must be pretty intensive given the recommended system requirements for building Chromium.
I opened a topic on the forums the other day looking for up-to-date instructions for building/patching Chromium. Do you know of any? Is this something that might be released with the new v78?
It took 2 days on an 8 core 2.4GHz ARM server. You'll run out of RAM trying to do it on a pi unless you use the 64bit kernel and some swap. Needless to say it will take even longer.
I'm trying to build Chromium v74 from source, implementing the MMAL patch, and received the following error when building:
I copied
libxcb-image.so
from the RPi4 and placed it in./build/linux/debian_sid_arm-sysroot/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/
; which seemed to work, and ninja carried on compiling.I then received the following errors relating to one of the files created by
v74.0.3729.182_mmal_3_22.patch
:What might be causing these errors? Am I missing more dependencies from the sysroot?
