Chromium B.S.U. Installation ---------------------------- Prerequisites ------------------ * Hardware accelerated OpenGL/Mesa environment (GLU required) You'll need to have the OpenGL development packages installed (such as mesa-devel*.rpm, etc.) * SDL 1.1.6 or greater. OPTIONAL -------- * Qt 2.2.x - for the chromium-setup utility. This utility lets you set all available options for Chromium, as well as browse for music files to add to your playList. * SMPEG 0.4.2 or greater - if you want to play MP3 files for background music * Ogg/Vorbis - if you want to play OGG files for background music Install data files ------------------ Chromium B.S.U. will not work without the data files! Download and untar the data files and set environment variable CHROMIUM_DATA to point to that directory. Install Program files --------------------- Run the 'configure' script, then type 'make'. This will do the following: * configure and build OpenAL (in ./support/openal) * build glpng (in ./support/glpng) * build Chromium B.S.U. (in ./src) * build the Chromium B.S.U. setup utility (in ./src-setup) If you have Qt2 installed, make sure that your QTDIR environment variable is set to point to the proper directory (most distribs put Qt2 in /usr/lib/qt2 or something similar). If you are having problems building the setup app, just run 'configure' again and disable it, e.g. configure --disable-setup You may also want to check the FAQ: http://www.reptilelabour.com/software/chromium/faq.htm If you encounter any problems, I can be reached at mallanmba@yahoo.com Cheers, Mark B.
