chromium in wine now works with gmail
This message is being sent in gmail in Chromium running on Wine with options --no-sandbox --use-nss-for-ssl. (--use-nss-for-ssl turns on a new alternate https stack that works in wine.) This copy of Chromium was built in Wine, too. It took 1 hour 55 minutes to compile and link from scratch using Visual C++ 2005 in Wine on a q9300. (And that's compiling with /MP to use all cores; wthout /MP, it takes three and a half hours, IIRC.) See http://wiki.winehq.org/BuildAndTestChromium for easy instructions on how to do this. - Dan

Google seriously needs to depend on system libraries rather than build the whole damned thing themselves. I can forgive them for rolling their own webkit, but with gigabytes of space required to compile and almost 2 hours on that high-speed quadcore ... No, they're doing something wrong. In other news, well done with getting it to work!

Oh, and the build is slow because it's in wine. It builds about three times faster on windows. On Feb 4, 2010 7:11 AM, "Ben Klein" <shacklein(a)gmail.com> wrote: On 5 February 2010 01:54, Dan Kegel <dank(a)kegel.com> wrote:

Cool... I'll have to try this sometime. Chip

Congrats! Currently only http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19502 prevents a clean install in Wine?

Nice work. Do you have any idea of how long it takes to build on native Windows (for a comparison)? - Reece

This bug http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21423 is about it. Looks like it's about three times slower or so.
