chromedriver for CentOS 6

chromedriver_el6

In this repo we collect some infos on building current versions of chromium and chromedriver on CentOS 6.

For CentOS 7, see https://github.com/onrooby/chromedriver_el7

About

As CentOS 6 is no longer supported by Google, you will get the following error when trying to start chromedriver:

/lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by ./chromedriver)
./chromedriver: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.15' not found (required by ./chromedriver)
./chromedriver: /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.15' not found (required by ./chromedriver)

rpmbuild to the rescue!

The source rpm provided is based on http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/chromium/6/

All we did was adding chromedriver to the spec, and adding a patch for a failing revision resolution for the chromedriver sources.

Current Versions

Program	Version
ChromeDriver	v2.3
Chromium	31.0.1650.63

Instructions

Do NOT do this as root! You might damage your system! RPM building will take place in ~/rpmbuild.

Get the SRPM for chromium

wget http://downloads.onrooby.com/chromium/srpms/chromium-31.0.1650.63-1.el6.src.rpm

Install (as normal user)

rpm -ivh chromium-31.0.1650.63-1.el6.src.rpm

Build

cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS
rpmbuild -ba chromium.spec

When rpmbuild complains about missing dependencies (mostly devel packages), install them using yum install <packagenames> or alternatively, use # yum-builddep chromium.spec.

Binaries

We provide pre-built packages. Use at your own risk!

TODO

• Split packages into chromium and chromium-chromedriver
