www-client/ungoogled-chromium-133.0.6943.53_p1: Build failing

[1mouse3]

I mosly got this ebuild fixed that I pulled from the liguros repo, it still has one issue that keeps it from finishing over something with dracut. It dose compleat enough that I get a working kernel in gentoo, and is build using the GrapheneOS source updated by anthrax.

https://github.com/1mouse3/liguros-xxx/blob/main/sys-kernel/debian-sources/debian-sources-6.1.124_p1-r1.ebuild

This broke the current install of chromium over this being set to 0 by default and have to run this as "--no-sandbox".

sysctl -w kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=0

Trying to reinstall this, I get this error that Im coming up short on the cause.

This comes up early in the build and is not respecting my build flag of "-fuse-ld=bfd", and is trying to use gold and lld that is not installed. I have reinstalled binutils, gcc, glibc, python, nodejs and ninja along with adding systemtap flag to gcc and glibc. I do not know where it is getting this info from but is not in my /etc tree.

The variable "use_gold" was set as a build argument

The build continued as if that argument was unspecified.

I am building chromium with this flag stack.

I mosly got this ebuild fixed that I pulled from the liguros repo

Have you considered filing the issue there?

[1mouse3]

I have not got a lot of response from them on it, been left on my own to fix it mostly. The issue left with the ebuild is one last sandbox violation that needs solved with dracut.

https://gitlab.com/liguros/bugs/-/issues/339

I need EFI stub for the embeaded bootloader of my new board, but dracut requires systemd for that. So I will be working on getting this mkinitramfs to work instead of dracut. I am running a backup of gentoo to build liguros in a chroot, what I got so far works enough to get a matching 64bit kernel to use on both.

https://github.com/1mouse3/liguros-xxx/blob/main/sys-kernel/mkinitramfs/mkinitramfs-0.5.ebuild

Mkinitramfs was wanting a compact libc, so was also going to bring this gentoo ebuild back from dead since there was a update with source. Getting this working was the need for the 64bit only kernel.

https://github.com/1mouse3/liguros-xxx/blob/main/sys-libs/uclibc-ng/uclibc-ng-1.0.51.ebuild

I only brough the kernel up, so that you know what broke chromium. My only question to you is over this protozero_plugin of chromium, and why it wants lld/gold over bfd that is give as option? Because Im trying to reinstall it to see if that will get it to work with "kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone=0" and not have to disable the sandbox for chromium.

[PF4Public]

My only question to you is over this protozero_plugin of chromium, and why it wants lld/gold over bfd that is give as option?

It should, especially that you enable nvidia. Why it didn't — I have no idea. Maybe something is wrong with your system and/or chroot.

[1mouse3]

Thanks, that leads me somewhere and dose get it a 1/3 the way through the build. This is a log of that run with "-nvidia" flag.

Thing of note I see is this...

Vs this from the run with the "nvidia" flag. Here its trying to use lld and without that flag its false, but both are trying to force me to use gold.

Next thing I saw in that log of the last run of the build, is that it was tripping over C++ calls and seeming to want C instead. It was warnings early in the build but it became a failer for building the ffmpeg part. I have gcc built with C++ and object C++ support, is this a issue for chromium? It wont let me build it without multilib for some reason on the the gentoo backup, Im not messing with stuff in chroot right now.

USE="cet (cxx) (default-stack-clash-protection) (default-znow) fortran hardened (multilib) nls objc objc++ objc-gc openmp (pie) (ssp) systemtap zstd"

This is in the portage make.conf of the gentoo backup.

COMMON_FLAGS="-march=skylake-avx512 -O2 -pipe"
LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS} -fuse-ld=bfd"
CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} ${COMMON_FLAGS}"
CXXFLAGS="${CXXFLAGS} ${COMMON_FLAGS}"
FCFLAGS="${COMMON_FLAGS}"
FFLAGS="${COMMON_FLAGS}"
MAKEOPT="-j26 -l26"

I did make a bunch of changes to gentoo past the state of this backup, and copyed the /etc tree from that to the liguros chroot. So took a look to see what changes I had made and saw this addition, it did not make a difference putting it in the make.conf.

EXTRA_GN="use_lld=false use_gold=false is_clang=false"

Looked into that and found this...

It gave a different place to stick it.

But it did force change those variables that chromium was trying to set, and got rid of this. So the issue with protozero_plugin is solved I think, since now build to the ffmpeg failer with the "nvidia" flag.

Did you mean "use_lld"?

This is a log

Sorry, but I mentioned in issue template that I only open GitHub attachments

but both are trying to force me to use gold

As I said, there is something wrong on your side. This conditional works for me on Gentoo.

Oh wait, I just noticed you're building with gcc. In this case it is not a surprise that it uses bfd and not lld. clang is on by default (speaking for my ebuilds of course) and if you're insisting on building with gcc, you're on your own. Google does not support building with GCC, Gentoo does not support building with gcc.

It is a very old information, Google dropped use_jumbo_build long time ago

[1mouse3]

Ok, I was just going to rebuild the dependencys for these flags...

"system-ffmpeg system-harfbuzz system-icu system-jsoncpp system-libusb system-openh264 system-png system-zstd"

But it gave issues over a old install of qt6 and kde6, so went down this rabbit hole to get it all sorted and updated.

Then asked portage if it was happy with what I have installed.

USE="vulkan pulseaudio -llvm_slot_19 -llvm_slot_18 -llvm -clang cxx threads" emerge -avDU @world

So that put me in a state where can have another shot at these.

"system-ffmpeg system-harfbuzz system-icu system-jsoncpp system-libusb system-openh264 system-png system-zstd"

ICU is part the boost stack, so that all got reinstalled again.

emerge -av app-arch/bzip2 app-arch/xz-utils app-arch/zstd dev-build/b2  dev-lang/python dev-libs/icu dev-python/numpy sys-libs/zlib virtual/libiconv virtual/mpi boost

Nodejs wanted to throw a fit and not reinstall, found this flag being on by default thats a security risk and calls in llvm.

USE="-inspector" emerge -av nodejs

But in the end found it missing tracing arays, that the mpi and numpy flags of boost give. So rebuilt this stack once again

USE="lzma mpi numpy tools" emerge -av app-arch/bzip2 app-arch/xz-utils app-arch/zstd dev-build/b2  dev-lang/python dev-libs/icu dev-python/numpy sys-libs/zlib virtual/libiconv virtual/mpi boost

So asked portage if it was happy yet again, and this time nodejs built without issue.

USE="vulkan pulseaudio -llvm_slot_19 -llvm_slot_18 -llvm -clang cxx threads" emerge -avDU @world

So at this point my gentoo backup is updated, working and built to C/C++ standarded. So had another shot at chromium and is still failing over ffmpeg.

"Sorry, but I mentioned in issue template that I only open GitHub attachments"

Sorry missed that and here is that log as a github attachment.

"Oh wait, I just noticed you're building with gcc. In this case it is not a surprise that it uses bfd and not lld. clang is on by default (speaking for my ebuilds of course) and if you're insisting on building with gcc, you're on your own. Google does not support building with GCC, Gentoo does not support building with gcc."

This is the first I heard that gentoo is clang only, when there is enough documentation to get it to work with gcc. That explains why I have been fighting with this ebuild at every update and not others. A year ago when I switched to gentoo, I fought with gibberish errrors for a month trying to get clang to work and just wiped the drive in the end. I spent a decade with slackware and another with arch, and my dad had red hat on a IBM 486 so C/C++ is what I know. I made the switch when building cyanogenmod for zte phones I had then, and perfer sony phones since dont have to do that to get a clean install. Android at that time was C/C++ and have not built any the newer branches from scratch, so did not see any reason that google would be clang only as well.

I already told you I won't be able to help you with gcc. Try building with clang.

Gentoo is fine. Chromium and derevatives do not support gcc.
