README for chromium NOTES Some features of Chromium > 23.x.x.x use Google APIs, and to access those APIs either an API Key or a set of OAuth 2.0 tokens is required. You can specify the API keys to use either when you build Chromium, or at runtime using environment variables. After build chromium you will have a binary without API keys baked in, so instead you should provide them at runtime. To read more about API keys: http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/api-keys WARNING To build chromium you need a functioning shared semaphore implementation on the host operating system. For POSIX semaphores to work, you need r/w access to shared memory (/dev/shm). Be sure you enabled /dev/shm or you will get errors like: sl = self._semlock = _multiprocessing.SemLock(kind, value, maxvalue) OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied POSTINSTALLATION If you can't run chromium and you got a message like this: $ chromium [1410:1410:1506374616:FATAL:platform_font_gtk.cc(329)] Check failed: typeface. Could not find any font: Fixed, sans Aborted You can solve this by installing for example xorg/xorg-font-dejavu-ttf.
