Setting Up Library Paths via Script
With the whole package contents in place, you need to make sure that Chromium will be able to find its libraries and other needed files. There is a pre-fabricated script for this.
Log into Local Terminal as root.
Change into the /custom/chromium-browser directory.
Enter the command ls -l.
You will see that instead of a single script as in the previous example there are the etc/ and usr/ directories. They include many libraries and other files that Chromium will need to run. However, it expects these directories not within the /custom/chromium-browser/ directory, but in the filesystem root, where system directories such as /usr are located. The Initialization Script for the Custom Partition will fix this by setting up symbolic links, so that for example /custom/chromium-browser/usr/lib/library.so will appear to be in /usr/lib/library.so, where Chromium expects it.
Use the GNU nano editor to create the file custompart-chromium-browser and put the following contents into it - alternatively, edit the file elsewhere and copy it into /custom/chromium-browser/:
#!/bin/sh
ACTION="custompart-chromium-browser_${1}"
# mount point path
MP=$(get custom_partition.mountpoint)
# custom partition path
CP="${MP}/chromium-browser"
# output to systemlog with ID amd tag
LOGGER="logger -it ${ACTION}"
echo "Starting" | $LOGGER
case "$1" in
init)
# Initial permissions
chown -R root:root "${CP}" | $LOGGER
chmod 755 "${MP}" | $LOGGER
# Linking files and folders on proper path
find "${CP}" | while read LINE
do
DEST=$(echo -n "${LINE}" | sed -e "s|${CP}||g")
if [ ! -z "${DEST}" -a ! -e "${DEST}" ]; then
# Remove the last slash, if it is a dir
[ -d $LINE ] && DEST=$(echo "${DEST}" | sed -e "s/\/$//g") | $LOGGER
if [ ! -z "${DEST}" ]; then
ln -sv "${LINE}" "${DEST}" | $LOGGER
fi
fi
done
ldconfig
;;
stop)
killall -q -SIGTERM chromium-browser
sleep 1
killall -q -SIGKILL chromium-browser
;;
esac
echo "Finished" | $LOGGER
exit 0
Use this as a script template for your Custom Partitions, replacing all instances of chromium-browser with the directory name of your CP.
Make the script executable with the following command: chmod a+x custompart-chromium-browser
Run the script: ./custompart-chromium-browser init It should run and finish without any errors. The library paths are set up now.
