This should also fix VA-API for chromiumBeta (though that part needs
some cleanup). However, chromiumDev likely still fails due to the
absence of dirmd (not included in the tarball so far, we might have to
package and add it as a dependency).
Wanted to do this for a long time to collect important knowledge and
make it easier to pass maintainership.
Only time will tell if this'll be useful or become outdated instead.
As discussed in #101429 firefox 82 started crashing when used with
wayland. A brief investigation showed that this appears to be rooted
within the LTO support that was recently added to the package. For the
time being, until someone figures out where the crashes are coming from,
we can just disable LTO.
Chromium 86.0.4240.75 builds fine without this patch. And since
WEBP_MAX_DIMENSION is the same in the system libwebp this patch should
not be required anymore (it was introduced in 06ec2a9f19, apparently to
fix the build).
By default GN produces a build with all of the debug assertions enabled (is_debug=true) and including full debug info (symbol_level=2). Setting symbol_level=1 will produce enough information for stack traces, but not line-by-line debugging. Setting symbol_level=0 will include no debug symbols at all. Either will speed up the build compared to full symbols.
This is done to avoid driver specific issues and restores the previous
behaviour. Like before video acceleration can be enabled without having
to rebuild Chromium.
This will additionally install the following files:
libEGL.so libGLESv2.so
libVkICD_mock_icd.so libvk_swiftshader.so libvulkan.so
libEGL.so and libGLESv2.so are required to fix our ANGLE support.
The rest should help with the Vulkan support (currently an experimental
feature that is disabled by default).
This ensures that we aren't applying any of the experiemental pipewire
patches when the dependencies aren't enabled. As of now pipewire only
works with wayland and webrtc. If either of them are not activated we
can't build with pipewireSupport and we should not.
