[fedora-arm] Chrome web browser

[David Rusling]

All,
	I'll probably blog this, but I've been doing a little bit of playing trying to get the Chrome web browser built on F17.   The x86 source rpms can be found at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Chromium.   The list of packages is:

chromium-21.0.1180.89-1.fc17.src.rpm          
chromium-ffmpegsumo-21.0.1180.81-1.fc17.src.rpm
jsoncpp-0.6.0-0.1.20120626svn249.fc17.src.rpm  
nacl-binutils-2.20.1-4.gitf412ed5.fc17.src.rpm 
nacl-gcc-4.4.3-5.git3937565.fc17.src.rpm 
nacl-newlib-1.20.0-2.git67e3510.fc17.src.rpm  
v8-3.11.10.20-1.fc17.src.rpm     
webrtc-0.1-0.6.20120613svn2401.fc17.src.rpm 

Attempting to build these (so far):
jsoncpp - built, no modifications
v8 - missing dependencies
readline-devel is needed by v8-1:3.11.10.20-1.fc17.armv7hl
libicu-devel is needed by v8-1:3.11.10.20-1.fc17.armv7hl
builds after missing dependencies sorted
webrt
lots of missing dependencies, easy to fix with "yum install"
Compiles a lot then gives up with "error: unrecognized command line option '-msse2'" gcc option.  As this is an x86 compiler flag, should be easy to track down and remove.
nacl-binutils- Architecture is not included: armv7hl
I'll try adding support for armv7hl into the spec file and see what happens next
chromium - 
Architecture is not included: armv7hl
chromium.spec includes the line "ExclusiveArch:    %{ix86} arm x86_64"
Fixed this (by adding "armv7hl" to the list of architectures and it then fails because of build dependencies
chromium-ffmepegsumo
Missing ARM directories - the solution may be to use the 'standard' ffmpeg library, but may miss some things
I'll carry on playing but it occurs to me that starting with the Ubuntu source tree may be quicker / cleaner.   I'll see how far I get down this route so far.   I'm using a large external disk as 8Gb just isn't enough for this; I may experiment using an external usb spinny-disk and just run that as my main development system.
