Building Chromium OS – update
Today (or yesterday late) I started download and building the source of Chromium OS again. As a described inside my blog and at http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-os-discuss/browse_thread/thread/ba8ddf13edece9a6/647d2632e8c2d615?lnk=raot I got a blue gradient screen after login.
One of the reponse of this post said something about the different version of the gtk library which are used http://code.google.com/p/chromium-os/issues/detail?id=676 Ubuntu 9.10 makes use of libgtk2.0 2.18.3 while Chrome OS is packaged with 2.17.2. So building the code went fine but when running you get errors inside the log file var/log/slim.log
/opt/google/chrome/chrome symbol lookup error: /opt/google/chrome/ chrome undefined symbol: gdk_x11_window_get_drawable_impl
You don’t get this issue when using the pre built browser binary (because this one is compiled with the right package). But my idea was that I wanted to build the Chromium OS completly from source. Because I did not want to make another chroot environment for building the browser code, I created a new virtual machine (within VMWare) and this time I use Ubuntu 9.04
About Chromium
I updated my previous blog post and this time I get a browser after login. Still the system is far away from stable (but this is probally because it is a very early version) and performs not that smooth (probally lack of drivers). But it is working.
So check out the previous (updated) blog post (http://www.johandekoning.nl/index.php/2009/11/23/building-chromium-os/) and I hope it helps you when building the system by your own. Of course it is possible to ask question or give feedback by posting comments.

Do you know how to build it by ARM toolchain?
Does it(ChromiumOS) support ARM?
