Building ungoogled-chromium

Notice for users of the develop branch: The information in this document may be out-of-date or incorrect.

There are two major sections of this document:

Platform-specific building instructions

This section is for users who are using a supported platform and don't need to customize their build.

These instructions are the ones used for producing the published binaries.

Debian and its derivatives

These instructions will create .deb packages using ungoogled-chromium's variation of Debian's debian directory.

The build should work on the CPU architectures amd64, i386, arm64, and armhf.

Install common requirements: # apt install packaging-dev python3 python2 ninja-build

For Debian 9 (stretch):

export UTILIKIT_CONFIG_TYPE=debian_stretch
mkdir build/
mkdir build/sandbox
mkdir build/downloads
./utilikit/prepare_sources.py
./utilikit/substitute_domains.py
./utilikit/generate_build_files.py debian --flavor standard --apply-domain-substitution
cd build/sandbox
dpkg-checkbuilddeps # Checks and reports any additional packages needed
dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc

Packages will appear under build/.

Deviations for different Debian versions or flavors:

Ubuntu 17.04 (zesty): Same as Debian 9 (stretch)

Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial):

  • Set UTILIKIT_CONFIG_TYPE=linux_conservative
  • Use --flavor conservative in generate_build_files.py

Debian 8.0 (jessie) is currently not working at this time, due to utilikit using Python 3.5 features and the lack of a build configuration that will work on it.

Other versions or derivatives are not officially supported, but it still may be possible to build on them with the settings from one listed above.

Windows

These instructions are out-of-date

Google only supports Windows 7 x64 or newer. These instructions are tested on Windows 10 Home x64.

For maximum portability, the build configuration will generate x86 binaries by default. This can be changed to x64 by setting builder.target_cpu = CPUArch.x64 in build.py.

Additional Requirements

  • Visual Studio. See Chromium's Windows Build Instructions for Google's requirements
    • Build has been tested on 2015 Community Edition Update 2 with only the following features installed:
      • Programming Languages -> Visual C++ (including all subcomponents)
      • Universal Windows App Development Tools -> Windows 10 SDK 10.0.10586
      • Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.0/8.1 Tools -> Tools and Windows SDKs
  • GNU patch (to deal with patches that have fuzz). You can get the latest GNU patch from MSYS2.
    • If you don't want to use the installer, you can download and extract the following files manually from MSYS2's repository on SourceForge:
      • /usr/bin/patch.exe from patch-*-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
      • /usr/bin/msys-2.0.dll from msys2-runtime-*-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
      • These files are portable.
  • gperf from GNUWin32
  • bison from GNUWin32
    • Get the Binaries, Developer files, Sources, and Dependencies
    • NOTE: Make sure to place gperf and bison in a path without spaces, otherwise the build will fail.

Setting up the build environment

Make sure the following are accessible in PATH (the PATH overrides feature can be used on the directories containing the actual executable):

  • Python 2 as python
  • Ninja as ninja
  • GNU patch as patch
  • gperf as gperf
  • bison as bison

See build.py for more on customizing the build environment or process.

Build

To make sure that the GN tool builds correctly, make sure you run vcvarsall in the build command-line with the correct arguments:

  • vcvarsall amd64_x86 for building x86 binaries
  • vcvarsall amd64 for building x64 binaries

Then do the following:

# Change directory to ungoogled-chromium's root directory
path\to\python3 build.py

macOS

NOTE: There is no official maintainer for this platform. If there is a problem, please submit a pull request or issue

Tested on macOS 10.11.6

Additional Requirements

  • Xcode 7
  • Homebrew
  • Perl (for creating a .dmg package)

Setting up the build environment

  1. Install Quilt via Homebrew: brew install quilt
  2. Install Ninja via Homebrew: brew install ninja

See build.py for more on customizing the build environment or process.

Build

export UTILIKIT_CONFIG_TYPE=macos
./utilikit/check_requirements.py --macos
mkdir build/
mkdir build/sandbox
mkdir build/downloads
./utilikit/prepare_sources.py
./utilikit/substitute_domains.py
./utilikit/generate_build_files.py macos --apply-domain-substitution
cd build/sandbox
./ungoogled_macos/build.sh

Arch Linux

This is a WIP

For now, see the instructions for Other Linux distributions. The resulting binary will still use system libraries.

Notes for other systems, platforms, and configurations

There is much freedom in building Chromium with ungoogled-chromium's changes. One may choose to abide more by ungoogled-chromium's general building steps (described in the or more by Google's steps for building Chromium.

DESIGN.md may be a helpful read to gain insights into utilikit and the project's file structure.

Consult the build instructions on the Chromium homepage for platform-specific building information.

You can use depot_tools to setup the Chromium source tree in build/sandbox if utilikit's source downloading system does not support a configuration. However, please note that this will involve executing Google binaries part of depot_tools and will run scripts that can download and run more Google binaries.

The main set of patches (listed in resources/configs/common/patch_order) should work on most, if not all, platforms supported by desktop Chromium. Some patches are there to fix building with certain build flags, so those may not work with other platforms or configurations. However, the patches as they are should apply as long as there is a clean and unmodified source tree.

Domain substitution and source cleaning will break scripts that downloads from Google, and other scripts operating on binary files from the source tree.

Building generalizations and additional information

This section is targeted towards users who are building for a platform without build instructions or who need additional customizations.

Common building requirements

The following is needed to fully use utilikit:

  • Python 3 (tested on 3.5) for running utilikit
  • Python 2 (tested on 2.7) for building GN and running other scripts
  • Ninja for running the build command

Alternatively, one can obtain Python 2 and Ninja binaries from Google's depot_tools. depot_tools provides additional utilities that may ease the setup of the build environment for certain target configurations.

Additional requirements are listed in the sections for specific platforms.

Configuring environment variables

utilikit uses a few environment variables to reduce redundancy in command invocations.

Here is a list of variables:

  • UTILIKIT_CONFIG_TYPE - The configuration to use. This corresponds to a directory name in resources/configs
  • UTILIKIT_RESOURCES - The path to the resources directory. Defaults to ../resources, relative to the utilikit directory.
  • UTILIKIT_DOWNLOADS_DIR - The path containing downloaded Chromium source archive and other packed dependencies. Defaults to ../build/downloads, relative to the utilikit directory.
  • UTILIKIT_SANDBOX_DIR - The path containing the build sandbox. Defaults to ../build/sandbox, relative to the utilikit directory.

For Linux users, make sure to export these variables to make them available to sub-processes.

General building instructions

These steps are employed in the platform-specific building instructions below. Do note, however, that this is only one application of utilikit.

If you just want the build flags and patches without going through utilikit, you can use utilikit/export_resources.py to export them.

Here is a typical build sequence for ungoogled-chromium:

  1. Set UTILIKIT_* environment variables
  2. Check to see if the build environment is setup correctly (optional, only certain requirements): utilikit/check_requirements.py
  3. Make build directories build/, build/sandbox/, build/downloads/
  4. Prepare the source code: utilikit/prepare_sources.py
  5. Apply domain substitution: utilikit/substitute_domains.py
  6. If utilikit can generate build files for the desired configuration, use the following:
    • Generate build files: utilikit/generate_build_files.py
    • Use the build files.
    • NOTE: The generated build files vary in format across configurations. Consult the platform-specific building instructions below for usage details.
  7. If not using generated build files, run the build sequence as follows:
    1. Apply patches
    2. Build GN via tools/gn/bootstrap/bootstrap.py
    3. Run gn gen with the GN flags
    4. Build Chromium via ninja
    5. Package the build outputs. This should be the same as it is for regular Chromium.

It should be noted that the build sequence...

  • is similar to Google's build steps for Chromium, and identical to the steps used by some Linux packagers of Chromium.
  • is automated by the build files.

All utilities in utilikit have built-in command-line help. Pass in -h or --help for details.

For a list of all utilikit utilities, see DESIGN.md.
