Error Building yocto images with Chromium Browser

[hrushinale]

Hello Community,

I am trying to build the yocto images with the Chromium browser integrated into it.

For that I followed the info. given in i.MX yocto Project's user guide and I added below lines in my local.conf file

CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += "chromium libexif"

LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST="commercial"

and Started the build but I am getting below errors:

ERROR: Nothing RPROVIDES 'chromium' (but /home/hrushi/fsl-release-bsp/sources/meta-fsl-bsp-release/imx/meta-sdk/recipes-fsl/images/fsl-image-qt5.bb RDEPENDS on or otherwise requires it)
ERROR: chromium was skipped: Recipe is blacklisted: BROKEN: fails to build with gcc-6
NOTE: Runtime target 'chromium' is unbuildable, removing...
Missing or unbuildable dependency chain was: ['chromium']
ERROR: Required build target 'fsl-image-qt5' has no buildable providers.
Missing or unbuildable dependency chain was: ['fsl-image-qt5', 'chromium']

Please help me solve these errors.

Best Regards,

Hrushi

Hi

You can go to  meta-browser

git checkout b251177608a8be789fe71f35e27558436ff46f50

I has test in

MACHINE ??= 'imx6qsabresd'
DISTRO ?= 'fsl-imx-x11'

Please have a look into the file README-IMXBSP in the top directory of the Yocto repository. This worked for me.

Add Chromium to your Wayland or X11-based image by adding the following lines to local.conf:

# Add Chromium
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = \
    "${@bb.utils.contains('DISTRO_FEATURES', 'wayland', ' chromium-ozone-wayland libexif', \
        bb.utils.contains('DISTRO_FEATURES',     'x11', ' chromium-x11 libexif', \
                                                        '', d), d)}"
LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST = \
    "${@bb.utils.contains('DISTRO_FEATURES', 'wayland', 'commercial', \
        bb.utils.contains('DISTRO_FEATURES',     'x11', 'commercial', \
                                                        '', d), d)}"

Hi buddy,

In my case, it's not solve my problem.

After add this line to local.conf, it's show this error:

ERROR: Task (/home/toanrd/imx-yocto-bsp/sources/meta-browser/recipes-browser/chromium/gn-native_64.0.3282.186.bb:do_compile) failed with exit code '1'

What should I do now ?

Thank you so much !

Hi Hrushi

according to sect.5.6.6 Chromium Browser on X11, XWayland and Wayland attached Yocto Guide:

The Yocto Project community has chromium-imx recipes to enable hardware acceleration for X11, XWayland and Wayland
version Chromium Browser for i.MX SoC with GPU hardware. Note that NXP does not support or test the patches from
community, either for VPU or GPU support.

so one can post on meta-fsl-arm mailing list, so that someonefamiliar with it could try to assist you :

Best regards
igor
