32 bit version of chromium needs updating.
« on: August 05, 2020, 08:11:42 AM »
I installed chromium extension to tiny core but it is too old to add extensions. Is there a more recent version in the work?

32-bit Chromium has not been updated by users for a long time, and 64-bit Chromium has not been updated for nearly a year, because these software packages are contributed by users, so I give you two Suggestions: 1. I suggest you use Firefox directly. 2. I suggest you change to a 64-bit system, then download the latest Chromium source code, and then compile it by yourself.
See Juanito for a link on how to compile.
Note that Chromium is only available in 64-bit, so you'll need to upgrade to 64-bit first

I can't run 64 bit programs. The whole purpose of using tiny core for me is to revive a 10 year old laptop (32 bit processor). I have another much newer laptop, but I have my reasons to revive that old device.
I will try firefox if it performs better. And I will try what Juanito said.

Hi TD15
Am I supposed to write that in terminal?
Yes. But not the numbers inside the square [] brackets. Those are elapsed times for those commands.
Code: [Select]
fetch --nohooks --no-history chromium [0:20:11]

 ----- Snip -----

ninja -C out/Default chrome [7h 41m 50s]

I'm not sure if the latest chromium browser still supports 32-bit, if not, you may need to try progressively older versions until you find one that works.

Note that you should use ncursesw instead of ncurses5 and jdk8 means using openjdk-8-jdk

No, However, you can download the ZCM binary package and resolve the software dependencies by yourself.
Code: [Select]
cd yourzoom
ldd ./zoom // View and Download all missing library files

If you want to compile whole zoom on linux, here are the sources :
https://d11yldzmag5yn.cloudfront.net/prod/5.2.440215.0803/zoom_i686.tar.xz .

This is a 32 bit one.

Is it possible to do the compilation on a windows machine? The most powerful device I have runs windows.

You could do a live boot on that Win Machine with a USB powered by TinyCore and then do the compilation. Remember to transfer the tools and firmware necessary.

After compilation and making the tcz, copy it to the usb for transfer between the 2 devices.
