Mon Apr 25 13:37:00 UTC 2011 Slackware 13.37 x86_64 stable is released! Thanks to everyone who pitched in on this release: the Slackware team, the folks producing upstream code, and linuxquestions.org for providing a great forum for collaboration and testing. The ISOs are off to be replicated, a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided 32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD. Please consider supporting the Slackware project by picking up a copy from store.slackware.com. We're taking pre-orders now, and offer a discount if you sign up for a subscription. As always, thanks to the Slackware community for testing, suggestions, and feedback. :-) Have fun!

Google Chrome (Open Source Web Browser)
|
|
---------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Here's how to install Google Chrome on Slackware.
|
|
|
|
|
|
First, go to the Google Chrome site:
|
|
|
|
http://www.google.com/chrome
|
|
|
|
Click the download button, and select either:
|
|
|
|
< > 32 bit .deb (for Debian/Ubuntu)
|
|
OR
|
|
< > 64 bit .deb (for Debian/Ubuntu)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Read and accept the license terms, and download the .deb package.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then, with the google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb or
|
|
google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb package in the same directory
|
|
as the google-chrome.SlackBuild script, run the script as root to
|
|
convert the .deb to a Slackware .txz:
|
|
|
|
./google-chrome.SlackBuild
|
|
|
|
This will produce a Slackware compatible .txz package. The exact
|
|
version number in the package filename will depend on the version
|
|
of Google Chrome found in the .deb package, but it will be something
|
|
like: google-chrome-10.0.648.151-x86_64-1.txz
|
|
|
|
You'll find the output package in the /tmp directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then, install the package (again as root):
|
|
|
|
cd /tmp
|
|
upgradepkg --install-new google-chrome-10.0.648.151-x86_64-1.txz
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally, please note that Google Chrome requires the GConf and ORBit2
|
|
packages found in this directory in order to run. Be careful with these
|
|
as they may create unintended dependencies on GConf/ORBit2 in other
|
|
software that you compile on machines where they are installed.
|
|
|
|
Newer beta and unstable builds may also require the PAM library libpam.so.0.
|
|
Installing the google-chrome-pam-solibs package in this directory will
|
|
allow these newer versions of Chrome to run without having to actually
|
|
switch the system to using PAM. If you need real PAM (to compile Chromium
|
|
for example), you can find it in /extra/source/pam/.
|
|
|
|
Enjoy! :-)
