How does one update the meta-browser to latest version of Chromium (50.X)?

[gbucas]

This was VERY useful - thanks ds-hwang - MUCH appreciated.

Your current repository https://github.com/ds-hwang/meta-browser.git
uses Chromium version 40.XXXX.

Could you give us instructions on how we can update that to the latest (or more recent) version of Chromium?

THANKS!

Gerard

Hi,

I forked it from https://github.com/OSSystems/meta-browser and didn't do anything.
Meanwhile, the upstream rebased it to M48. OSSystems/meta-browser@37695dd

In addition, meta-crosswalk-embedded explains very well how to build and flash yocto image.

Hi DS

Thanks for your fast response - MUCH appreciated..!

I know how to build yocto & flash image. Have done it many times - so no problem there.

Does your fork 'simply' point to the OSSsystems repository? In other words if I rebuild I will now automatically get M48 (which is good!)?

I tried to build it over the weekend but I keep on getting a build error on libsoup which I can't seem to resolve. Maybe 'master' branch is temporarily broken?

The error I get is:

Any ideas from anyone on how to resolve this?

yes, because recipes downloads chromium source from cloud

yocto 'master' branch can be broken anytime. I guess stable branch might work.

Hi again DS

REALLY appreciate your willingness to look at this – THANKS!!!!

That file is attached…

I also attached my local.conf and bblayers.conf files (just in case..).

Hi @gbucas

I got your mail somehow but I could not find any attached file?

Br, DS

[gbucas]

It was attached – can you send me your “normal” email address?

Will resend it

libsoupErrorLog.zip

[gbucas]

Ok – apparently github doesn’t accept the file extensions of log or conf files!

So here is a zip version…

[ds-hwang]

for some reason, gssapi.h doesn't exist.
fatal error: gssapi/gssapi.h: No such file or directory

need to add the dependency to recipes. I don't know what is the right dependency. maybe libkrb5 or something.

[gbucas]

I saw that but couldn't find a good yocto repository for libkrb5 ...

Do you know where to find a yocto 'ready' repository for that..?

I am not THAT good! ;)

I don't know. When I need new package, I usually git grep in the yocto tree. Maybe there is better way.

how about reporting this issue in https://github.com/OSSystems/meta-browser ?
They probabaly will fix it.

[gbucas]

Ok - let me try that !

Looks like: fatal error: gssapi/gssapi.h: No such file or directory

Update to current master, this has just been fixed.

Also for support like this for recipe in oe-core, please stick to yocto@ or oe-core@.

Hi again DS

Still need your help!

I started from scratch (re-downloaded all master branches) again last night. Have two different issues now:

1. Used your instructions and populated meta-browser from git clone https://github.com/ds-hwang/meta-browser.git.
   

   In that case it still builds the Chromium-40 browser (not V48.X) & I get the attached error when building Chromium.

2. I then started over again and this time I populated meta-browser directly from https://github.com/OSSystems/meta-browser. 
   

   Then everything built successfully & I got a bootable yocto image with Chromium-48 browser. So that looked good & it booted OK (got Desktop, and Chromium icon and Chromium which starts up OK, etc). The PROBLEM here is that Chromium can’t render any pages. Even something like “Chrome://flags” or “Chrome://settings” won’t render and it simply displays “Aw Shucks – something went wrong with this page” (ALL pages!). So I guess, there is some problem with the configurations of Chromium to rendered (or whatever?)?

Any ideas what I can do to fix it?

1. Can you tell me what exactly is the difference between your https://github.com/ds-hwang/meta-browser.git fork and the https://github.com/OSSystems/meta-browser repository (besides the change from M40 to M48)? If there are differences how can I force your fork to upgrade to the M48 branch? It doesn’t seem to do this automatically (it stays at M40 – with some build errors)
   

Would appreciate some help/advice!

Thanks

Gerard
