Feature #818
Updated by Daniel Curtis almost 8 years ago
While repurposing an old G5 I had laying around, I decided to put Debian 8 on it. When I went to install Chromium I found that it is not in the package repository. Luckily the package can still be built from source using apt-get. * Build Chromium from source using apt-get: <pre> apt-get build-dep chromium apt-get -b source chromium </pre> *NOTE*: Chromium currently will not build on PowerPC due to lack of support for the V8 javascript engine. There appears to be a port of V8 to PowerPC, but I haven't yet tested it. h2.
