chromium on 64 bit (arch) linux
2009-09-11 00:00:00 -0700
Really not much to write about, it was trivial to do, and feels a hell of a lot faster than the burning fox. Steps?
First, grab the latest build from the chrome buildbot
Second, probably notice that the chrome binary won’t run for
you… missing shared libs? Heeey, me too! Apparently we’re building
with certain debug libs here. use ldd to figger out what’s missin,
and go create some symlinks:
[lth@clover chrome-linux]$ ldd chrome | egrep \\.[0-9]d
libnss3.so.1d => /usr/lib/libnss3.so.1d (0x00007fe64a846000)
libnssutil3.so.1d => /usr/lib/libnssutil3.so.1d (0x00007fe64a628000)
libsmime3.so.1d => /usr/lib/libsmime3.so.1d (0x00007fe64a3fd000)
libssl3.so.1d => /usr/lib/libssl3.so.1d (0x00007fe64a1cd000)
libplds4.so.0d => /usr/lib/libplds4.so.0d (0x00007fe649fca000)
libplc4.so.0d => /usr/lib/libplc4.so.0d (0x00007fe649dc6000)
libnspr4.so.0d => /usr/lib/libnspr4.so.0d (0x00007fe649b8a000)Sunspider reports on my box chromium’s js performance is is 4.87x faster than that of the fox. Don’t get too excited, javascript performance isn’t everything…
