how much time does it take to slackbuild the chromium package?


I am new to the Slackware and I was trying to install chromium browser. I found out that i can download the slackbuild and source file from the slackbuild.org and can build and install it. So, I did the same. what i did was

Now the problem is, it's been compiling for last six hours. I am pretty much confused about what's going on. I couldn't cancel it because i thought let me wait for few more minutes and in doing so i have spent six hours. I don't think it's normal.Is it??
Anybody have any idea of where did i go wrong?? Please i want help.

Edit : It took time but I got it install. Still It'll be helpful if someone could tell me why did it take so long ? Thanx in advance.


Solution

  • Chromium takes ages to build because it is a complex piece of software. I would advise to use Alien Bob's packages, since they are kept up-to-date and ready to install. Check out http://alien.slackbook.org/blog/tag/chromium/.
