How can I build `ungoogled-chromium` from source on Ubuntu 18.04?












1














I've put in about an hour at this point, and I'm starting to feel a bit dead inside.



I started by downloading ungoogled-chromium version 71.0.3578.98-2 from GitHub. I extracted the tar.gz file into my home folder. Then, using the instructions from the "Any Linux Distribution" section of the build instructions. I followed the instructions to the point of adding the LLVM APT repo. I added the specified lines for Bionic (18.04) to my /etc/apt/sources.list file, retrieved the key with:



wget -O - https://apt.llvm.org/llvm-snapshot.gpg.key|sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update


This output these errors which look like this:



E: The repository 'https:/dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu bionic Release' does not have a Release file.
N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.
W: GPG error: http://apt.llvm.org/bionic llvm-toolchain-bionic InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 15CF4D18AF4F7421


I then, (though I knew it wouldn't work), ran:



sudo apt-get install clang-8 lld-8 llvm-8-dev python python3 ninja-build


and all of the LLVM packages were not able to be installed.



This is my first experience building from source, so I know inevitably made some obnoxious novice mistake.

    The first mountain you climb should not be an oxygen-starved widowmaker like Denali or Everest. The first person you date should not be a wealthy, famous supermodel. The first car you drive should not be a racing-optimized Maserati. The first application you download and compile from source should not be huge and complex. Make your beginner mistakes on something small, simple, and non-essential. Work up to the big leagues.

  • Of course not...but you've chosen a tough mountain for your first climb. It will become an educational exercise regardless of the original intent.

Firstly, if you don't want to build from source they provide binaries already built for Ubuntu 18.04:




  • https://ungoogled-software.github.io/ungoogled-chromium-binaries/


Instructions for building are available from:




  • https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium/blob/master/docs/building.md#debian-and-its-derivatives


This specifies that you can build LLVM 7 and don't need to install LLVM 8 to build for Ubuntu Bionic (18.04)



Building should be as simple as:



sudo apt install packaging-dev python3 ninja-build

# Run from inside the clone of the repository
mkdir -p build/src

./get_package.py PACKAGE_TYPE_HERE build/src/debian
cd build/src

# Use dpkg-checkbuilddeps (from dpkg-dev) or mk-build-deps (from devscripts) to check for additional packages.
# If necessary, change the dependencies in debian/control to accommodate your environment.
# If necessary, modify AR, NM, CC, and CXX variables in debian/rules
debian/rules setup-local-src
dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc
