The buttons should be translated but they are english only in fatdog.
Ah, ok. I thought it is only because of missing locales, but that's not it. I'm going to rebuild Xdialog and hopefully this time it works. I tried amigo patches for Xdialog but not all of them works, so I need to see which one does.
EDIT:
Scotchialoo, sorry I don't understand what you're saying. I do understand your wish for compiling Chromium. But if Chromium needs newer glibc that what is in Fatdog, then it is not going to be easy. You don't need new gcc, only new binutils (and that only because the old binutils that comes with Fatdog has bugs affecting newer glibc). To give out a picture of the enormous task you're about to do:
1. First build new binutils (explained by Sunny here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 273#733273)
2. Then build the new glibc, installing to different path (*not* to /usr/lib64)
3. Make sure you install the correct "userspace kernel headers" to the new glibc location.
4. Then modify your compiler to make sure that it uses the new glibc (modify the compiler's specs file, or use the trick outlined here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8471 ... ingle-host).
5. Then build chromium ... if chromium only depends on glibc. Most likely it's not, so you will need to ...
6. Re-build *all the other libs needed by chromium* (even if they already exist in Fatdog). You may be able to avoid this step, but do so at your own peril. We are talking about Qt libs, X libs, openssl, media codec libs, and all other libs. Build and put them in the new glibc location.
7. Then and only then you can build chromium.
As you can see, the effort would probably be similar to building entirely new distribution altogether. An oh, don't try to replace the existing glibc - you must install the new glibc elsewhere (e.g. /opt/glibc-2.18 or something). Replacing/upgrading glibc is another subject altogether - which I already said I will not touch (there are many other threads on this forum which discuss the wisdom (or lack thereof) of upgrading glibc).
