| # Building Chromium on Arch Linux |
| |
| Generally speaking, follow the [Linux Build Instructions](linux_build_instructions.md). |
| However, do the following instead to install the build dependencies: |
| |
| ## Install the build dependencies |
| |
| Most of these packages are probably already installed since they're often used, |
| and the `--needed` parameter ensures that up-to-date packages are not |
| reinstalled. |
| |
| ```shell |
| $ sudo pacman -S --needed python perl gcc gcc-libs bison flex gperf pkgconfig \ |
| nss alsa-lib gconf glib2 gtk2 nspr ttf-ms-fonts freetype2 cairo dbus \ |
| libgnome-keyring |
| ``` |
| |
| For the optional packages on Arch Linux: |
| |
| * `php-cgi` is provided with `pacman` |
| * `wdiff` is not in the main repository but `dwdiff` is. You can get `wdiff` |
| in AUR/`yaourt` |
| * `sun-java6-fonts` do not seem to be in main repository or AUR. |
