Does that make sense? If you can figure out what kind of flags we need to pass to the build system, please file a bug and we can add a USE flag for it.

What I am trying to do is to build chromium in such a way that I can use the assistive technology called Chrome next which requires chrome for chrome os.

This downloads the binary version of Chrome and pulls all the Google-proprietary bits out of it and loads them into your Chromium. Of course, at that point you might as well just use Chrome...

[gentoo-user] Chromium on linux, build question
Hi. I want to have Chromium on linux, but I want to build the Chrome OS version, so I can have their version of the accessibility plugin which is called Chrom next. I did not see any use flags, so how can I do this on gentoo? I am using the unstable version of gentoo. It is my understanding that this can be done on Debian and other distributions. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici wb2una cov...@ccs.covici.com
