I need to install the Chromium Web Browser in piCore but it is not available in the TC repository.

Assuming dillo, epiphany, firefox, links and webkitgtk4 are of no use, you could search for a version of the chromium browser pre-compiled for RPi  (I believe it is available in the Pi OS) or try to build it yourself.

Thanks for the quick response, Sir.

Yes, I do believe that Pi OS has a pre-complied version, but how do I copy it over to piCore?

You’d need to manually download the package from the Pi OS site, unpack it and figure out the dependencies.

I gave it a quick try on piCore64 using chromium_99.0.4844.74-1~deb11u1_arm64.deb, you'd need chromium_99.0.4844.74-1~deb11u1_armhf.deb.

The following deps are missing on piCore/piCore64:

libre2.so.9 => not found
libsnappy.so.1 => not found
libminizip.so.1 => not found

..so they'd need to be built.

Thanks once again.

I have a functioning Chromium Browser on my Pi OS (32-bit). How do I copy it to piCore with all the dependencies?

"apt-file list chromium" or similar should provide a list of files to copy.

You don't need to copy many of the dependencies as a piCore extension already exists.

I'd like to know if there is any progress.

Nowadays, I'm trying to find a way to install chromium/firefox on the picore 13 machine.

But, no success.

There's a firefox extension in the piCore repo.
