Bug 33532 – chromium-0.9.12-r4 does not run because CHROMIUM_DATA environment variable is not set during install

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andrew a.k.a. Triad 2003-11-14 20:59:30 UTC]

After emerging chromium-0.9.12-r4 I tried to run the game and I got this error:

!! ERROR !! - ../data/fonts/space.txf: No such file or directory

ERROR loading texture font. Check data path and try again.

After looking at website for chromium they specify that:

"Set CHROMIUM_DATA environment variable to point to data directory ( i.e.
Chromium-0.9/data )"  

Before compiling.

I can run game by typing:
export CHROMIUM_DATA=/usr/share/games/chromium/
chromium

But this just masks the install problem.

do you have a /etc/env.d/99chromium file ?

the ebuild should have installed it for you and thus set CHROMIUM_DATA in your environment

/etc/env.d/99chromium was created.  Strange that chromium wouldnt run after install without error. Isn't Portage supposed to perform an env-update after emerge?  Thus my problem wouldnt occur.  Did I miss something?

it does run `env-update` but portage cant modify your active environment

you would have to source /etc/profile yourself

i added a little msg to the ebuild about this
