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.
