FAQ:

  • How long does it take to build? Many hours, depending on your system. I recommend enabling ccache in makepkg.conf so that repeated builds are faster.
  • Does VAAPI work? No
  • Are there bugs? Yes, but IMO it's usable. If you want to report bugs, compile with debug symbols in the standard way for arch packages.

Since v87, is there anything that is not provided by the official chromium package?

Sorry for flagging it incorrectly. Please pin yegorius comment.

Since v87 Ozone is enabled in official bulds. Just add "--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland" to your .config/chromium-flags.conf and enjoy.

Should be fixed. I don't think conflicts will work because that only gets checked on install.

Turns out that I was running gn-git which broke the build. Maybe that should be marked as a conflict (though there is no build-conflict in PKGBUILD)

I'd recommend building in a clean chroot with the devtools. I always build with extra-x86_64-build (also the PKGBUILD below). If you want to build the PKGBUILD available in the AUR repo, you wanna build the ncurses dependency manually and then build chromium-ozone like extra-x86_64-build -- -I ncurses.pkg.tar.zst

I'm getting this when trying to build, any suggestions?:

ERROR at //third_party/blink/renderer/platform/instrumentation/BUILD.gn:50:1: Dependency not allowed.
source_set("unit_tests") {

nw. I'm on board with the idea of avoiding custom toolchains, but for these packages (chromium-ozone, chromium-beta-ozone, chromium-dev-ozone), I've opted to accept whatever chromium does as much as possible. That's just because its difficult to get it to build and work otherwise. Although for this package (stable channel) I can copy the patches from the main chromium package, for the beta/dev builds its often just me vs a constant stream of really confusing C++ problems which I don't have the time or skills to solve. So to save time debugging and testing I keep all three channels consistent and wait for others to work out all the weird C++ problems.

Very much excited to have the support in the main package!

Thank you for updating this package. In general we prefer not to use custom toolchains in Arch where possible, so I tried to keep up with the [extra] package as close as possible with my approach.

Hope we can package (optional) ozone support in [extra] soon :)

In the meantime I'm testing a build locally, so once it works (hopefully in about 10 hours) I will update it here.
