Linux compiling error

[Stephen Cheng]

I am trying to build chromium on ubuntu 10.04 64bit. When I run the ninja command to build the source code, I got the following error:

 

 

/home/sfcheng/chromium/27.0.1453.73/depot_tools/ninja-linux64: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /home/sfcheng/chromium/27.0.1453.73/depot_tools/ninja-linux64)

 

The version of glibc on ubuntu 10.04 is Ubuntu EGLIBC 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.12. I don't see anyway I can upgrade the glibc to 2.14 on this linux.

 

I am also not able to run the command build/install-build-deps.sh. I got the following error:

 

Installing Chrome OS fonts to /usr/local/share/fonts/chromeos.

Chromium requires Ubuntu Precise to build. We don't support Lucid any more.

The ninja issue is caused by the new ninja 1.4 binary being built on Precise, I suppose. You can build ninja yourself (see `cat $(which ninja)` for how) if you need to stay on Lucid (but other things won't work either).

The install-build-deps script maybe assumes that you have curl already installed? Try running `apt-get install curl` (but if that helps, I guess install-build-deps should make sure that curl is installed before using it).

Please note that Lucid itself reached end of life over four months ago and all the remaining bots were converted from Lucid to Precise recently (which means that Lucid support will probably quickly bitrot).

Yes. installing curl does get the install-build-deps script to run. It does make sense to add curl into the script itself.
