The Chromium OS designs and code are preliminary. Expect them to evolve.

Building Chromium Separately


If you plan on making a lot of changes to the Chromium OS version of Chromium, you should become familiar with the Chromium build system for Linux.

Important: To build the Chromium OS version of Chromium with their build system, add GYP_DEFINES="chromeos=1" to your environment:

export GYP_DEFINES="chromeos=1 target_arch=ia32" 

To make this change permanent, add it to your .bashrc file (if using bash) or the equivalent file for your shell.
