Running C Code in Chromebook on Normal Mode.

[Gokul vellingiri]

I know it is possible to compile and run C/C++ code in Chromebook by enabling Developer Mode. But is it possible to run a C code(Say "Hello World") in Normal Mode ?

It's possible with Crostini on the supported models - https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/docs/+/master/containers_and_vms.md

Thanks Ihor for your reply. Yes I was able to install Linux Terminal App on Chromebook. But seems like this does pose lots of restriction. /dev/video0 nodes was not able to access, which i need for one of my project. 

However in developer mode I accessed the file descriptor and developer a C Code. Is there any way i can get the exact replication of my Developer Mode shell.

there is no support currently for passing through V4L2 devices to crostini. we're working on USB pass thru ATM.

so today, what you want to do requires dev mode.

Thanks Mike for your confirmation. When can i expect this feature roll-out from Chromium ? Any tentative time period ?

Gokul,

You can star this crbug to track its progress, it looks to be targeted for M73:
