Strip down chromium

[Knepf]

hi!
i'm interested on stripping down chromium and porting it to a embedded
system.
the embedded system is running on a linux derivate and i have no X11,
GTK or QT. i just want to use the render-engine of chromium and i want
to copy the rendered bitmap(s) into framebuffer(s) or render directly
into the frame buffer(s).handling of key and touch is available.
has somebody already tried this or does somebody know any projects
which have done such things?

Hi,

I did  similar work on dfb.
Rendered bitmap from browser process is drawn on dfb in the another process.
Chromium is run on Xvfb.
Xvfb emulates real X server.

hi simon!
if you just simulate the XServer still the X11 and GTK components of chromium are used, right?
i don't think i will have this possibility on my embedded system and look for a way to run chromium content with a minimum amount of additional components.the reason fot that is also to reduce the memory footprint.
i started downstripping simple by deactivating the TOOLKIT_GTK and USE_X11 defines in build_config.h, but i'm asking myself if this is the right way to start.

Aura is already enabled in Chrome OS. It does not use Gtk at all.
What is the state of Aura in Chrome browser on Linux? Does USE_AURA
automatically disable TOOLKIT_GTK?
Of course, even with Aura, X is still required.

Yes, right. I didn't remove any GTK or X11 defines. Chrome just works on Xvfb but not visible to me.

I think getting away TOOLKIT_GTK and USE_X11 from chromium is difficult.

Because of that, I used xvfb. :)

I think it's right.

I think so. Aura is replacement of gtk. 

Of course, even with Aura, X is still required.

Yes, Aura is using X.
