Arch Linux User Repository

just updated to add a re2 patch. Also, this package builds 81.0.4044.138, no tag for it though.

@lunainvictum

That is the problem with dynamic linking, you could try to use guix. Supposedly these problems are avoided by design. I think there are some problems related to font-config but apart from that it should work.

@lunainvictum Fixing this problem would require a fully static build of chromium or some nasty LD_PRELOAD_PATH scripting or running it in a container with correct library collection or use flatpak or similar.

To mitigate, I run findbrokenpkgs after any update to find newly missing libraries especially in AUR packages. Originally it is a Gentoo invention.

What you need is /etc/findbrokenpkgs/arch.conf to filter noise and tune search paths:

SEARCH_DIRS="/usr/bin /usr/lib /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/lib /opt"
SEARCH_DIRS_MASK="/usr/lib/ImageMagick-7.0.10/modules-Q16HDRI"
LD_LIBRARY_MASK="libGLU.so.1 libKF5CoreAddons.so.5 libKF5I18n.so.5 libKF5Wallet.so.5 libQt5Bluetooth.so.5"

I also wrote a small awk script called /usr/local/bin/collect-missing-libs to populate that LD_LIBRARY_MASK (have to comment it out while running the script to get everything freshly reported):

#!/bin/sh

findbrokenpkgs -nc -nw 2>&1 | \
        awk '
                BEGIN {
                        FS="needs missing"
                }
                / needs missing / {
                        split($2,a," ")
                        for (l in a) arr[a[l]]=1
                }
                END {
                        x=0
                        for (l in arr) {
                                if (x==1) printf " %s",l
                                else {
                                        x=1
                                        printf "%s",l
                                }
                        }
                        printf "\n"
                }
        ' | \
                xargs -n1 | sort -u | xargs

And yet again Chromium is broken :(

/usr/lib/chromium/chromium: error while loading shared libraries: libre2.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Isnt it possible to fix such problems forever?

I let my Server build it again. Hopes it fixes...

@JstKddng

Now it fails at the very end with this Error:

../../v8/src/objects/js-number-format.cc:1227:15: error: no member named 'getAllFieldPositions' in 'icu_67::number::FormattedNumber' formatted.getAllFieldPositions(*fp_iter, status); ~~~~~~~~~ ^

Edit: Saw u add this Patch at the time, where the build was running. Trying yet again... Even with TR 1950x it takes 2 Hours.

@lunainvictum

yeah, had to add another patch for icu67, it should work now

I rebuild Chromium, because i cant start it because of that error:

/usr/lib/chromium/chromium: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.65: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

but after rebuild, still that error.

@bsdice

you could set up LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME, also, commenting that line doesn't enable some ungoogled flags.

So I compiled this on my E3-1275v6 and it took 4.5 hours. What a behemoth. Looking into upgrading to a dual 7742 EPYC system now to speed things up...

Package works, but I had to uninstall intel-media-driver which was installed via intel-media-sdk (optional for ffmpeg) because Youtube video crashed out with error after 1-2 seconds. I am on Xorg/i3/picom and only libva-intel-driver works on my setup. When both are installed it seems intel-media-driver is now preferentially used. Can't figure out why because these drivers are too much of an API rabbit hole to me.

yeah, had some problems fixing this PKGBUILD based on my previous ones. Will fix shortly.

PKGBUILD line 171 is superfluous? I commented it out, otherwise build fails in line 174. Directory is not named -master...
