1 # Using a chroot
2
3 If you want to run layout tests and you're not running Lucid, you'll get errors due to version differences in libfreetype. To work around this, you can use a ch root.
4
5 # Basic Instructions
6
7 * Run `build/install-chroot.sh`. On the prompts, choose to install a 64-bit L ucid chroot and activate all your secondary mount points.
8 * sudo edit `/etc/schroot/mount-lucid64bit` and uncomment `/run` and `/run/shm `. Verify that your mount points are correct and uncommented: for example, if y ou have a second hard drive at `/src`, you should have an entry like `/src /src none rw,bind 0 0`.
9 * Enter your chroot as root with `sudo schroot -c lucid64`. Run `build/instal l-build-deps.sh`, then exit the rooted chroot.
10 * Delete your out/ directory if you had a previous non-chrooted build.
11 * To enter your chroot as normal user, run `schroot -c lucid64`.
12 * Now run `build/gyp_chromium`, compile and run DumpRenderTree within chroot.

15 # Tips and Tricks
16
17 ## NFS home directories
18 The chroot install will be installed by default in /home/$USER/chroot. If your home directory is inaccessible by root (typically because it is mounted on NFS), then move this directory onto your local disk and change the corresponding entr y in `/etc/schroot/mount-lucid64bit`.
19
20 ## Goma builds
21 If you get mysterious compile errors (glibconfig.h or dbus header error), make s ure that goma is running in the chroot, or don't use goma for builds inside the chroot.
22
23 ## Different color prompt
24
25 I use the following code in my .zshrc file to change the color of my prompt in t he chroot.
26 ```
27 # load colors
28 autoload colors zsh/terminfo
29 if [[ "$terminfo[colors]" -ge 8 ]]; then
30 colors
31 fi
32 for color in RED GREEN YELLOW BLUE MAGENTA CYAN WHITE; do
33 eval PR_$color='%{$terminfo[bold]$fg[${(L)color}]%}'
34 eval PR_LIGHT_$color='%{$fg[${(L)color}]%}'
35 done
36 PR_NO_COLOR="%{$terminfo[sgr0]%}"
37
38 # set variable identifying the chroot you work in (used in the prompt below)
39 if [ -z "$debian_chroot" ] && [ -r /etc/debian_chroot ]; then
40 debian_chroot=$(cat /etc/debian_chroot)
41 fi
42
43 if [ "xlucid64" = "x$debian_chroot" ]; then
44 PS1="%n@$PR_GREEN% lucid64$PR_NO_COLOR %~ %#"
45 else
46 PS1="%n@$PR_RED%m$PR_NO_COLOR %~ %#"
47 fi
48 ```
49
50 ## Running X apps
51
52 I also have `DISPLAY=:0` in my `$debian_chroot` section so I can run test\_shell or layout tests without manually setting my display every time. Your display n umber may vary (`echo $DISPLAY` outside the chroot to see what your display numb er is).
53
54 You can also use `Xvfb` if you only want to [run tests headless](http://code.goo gle.com/p/chromium/wiki/LayoutTestsLinux#Using_an_embedded_X_server).
55
56 ## Having layout test results open in a browser
57
58 After running layout tests, you should get a new browser tab or window that open s results.html. If you get an error "Failed to open [file:///path/to/results.ht ml](file:///path/to/results.html)", check the following conditions.
59
60 1. Make sure `DISPLAY` is set. See the [Running X apps](https://code.google.co m/p/chromium/wiki/UsingALinuxChroot#Running_X_apps) section above.
61 1. Install `xdg-utils`, which includes `xdg-open`, a utility for finding the r ight application to open a file or URL with.
62 1. Install [Chrome](https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/).
