So I awoke from my away time from the internet to discover google-chrome in extra, nearly the same SlackBuild we have been using for some time. There was also the addition of obviously needed dependencies that are not included in stock slackware, which Pat has generously provided in the chrome directory in /extra. <div>
<br></div><div>I personally am a developer channel user, which for those unfamiliar is the next cycle development for chrome. The problem here is that in chrome 11.x PAM is now a dependency. Fortunately it doesn't need to be system wide, and as such I have attached a modified version of the SlackBuild now available in current, with the changes I have made to make my dev channel version work.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Static building of the PAM lib is not the most elegant solution, but until upstream adds a switch ignore the need for PAM it would appear to be the only real solution. The main reason I bring this up, is because the move to chrome 11 code in chrome stable looms on the horizon, and will break the /extra SlackBuild.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Pat, chrome slackbuild maintainers, and/or sbo admins feel free to use/modify as they see fit.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div><br></div><div>atyoung</div>
