why chrome only requires "GLIBC_2.11"

[joker]

Does chrome build on ubuntu 12.04 for linux?

Ubuntu 12.04 provide "GLIBC_2.15" now, but why chrome only requires "GLIBC_2.11" ?

My build and chromium-browser in the repository requires "GLIBC_2.15".

Yes, it does. I build on it daily. I think some of our bots also build on that version yet.

which version of glibc does your build requires? Is that 2.11?

Well, is it a bad thing? If so, why?

We build with a Debian 7 sysroot, and I think that's where the difference comes from.

ooh, i got it!

I build with a ubuntu lucid sysroot before and it can run with Debian 7, but now,

Debian 7 provides GLIBC_2.11 but my build requires GLIBC_2.15(build with ubuntu 12.04).

thanks! I will try with Debian 7 sysroot.
p.s. the script src/build/install-build-deps.sh may mislead others...

When i build with a wheezy sysroot, "gclient runhooks" error with "src/tools/gn/bin/linux/gn requires GLIBC_2.15".

Does the gn binary requires glibc 2.15 anyway?

Are you on an older branch? If so, you might have hit bug 327617. My
gn doesn't require GLIBC_2.15.

[joker]

yeah...my last sync time is  Dec 2013.

As it's poor speed  access the codebase, i can't sync too often.

Is there any independent patch to bug 327617?

You can get a more recent copy of tools/gn/bin/linux/gn.sha1 and run
download_from_google_storage with it. See the DEPS file for how
download_from_google_storage is used.

The README file has the instructions of how to download gn from GS.

I am running into the same issue when running my Chromium build on Debian 7. Is there any instruction page on Chromium website regarding how to build with Debian sysroot?

Thanks for the information.

Stephen.

Run chrome/installer/linux/sysroot_scripts/install-debian.wheezy.sysroot.py
with the appropriate switches. Make sure it downloads the Debian
sysroot to chrome/installer/linux/debian_wheezy_$ARCH-sysroot. Then
update the sysroot variable in build/common.gypi, re-run gyp and
rebuild.

[Shanfeng Cheng]

Thanks for the info. I modified the install-debian.wheezy.sysroot.py and common.gypi and then got it to build correctly with debian sysroot.
