Ungoogled-chromium: [request] Enable installation on macOS using `brew cask`

[sg-s]

Hi,

installation on macOS would be much easier if I could

brew cask install ungoogled-chromium

Thanks!

[gplessis]

AFAIK, it's already available as eloston-chromium

[Eloston]

Huh, I wonder why they called it eloston-chromium. I only wrote less than half of the patches.

EDIT: I guess I do ultimately decide what does and doesn't get into the project, so the name's fine I guess. But you can't find the package by typing in ungoogled which sort of bugs me.

yes, my problem precisely.

I guess small PR can change it (rename it). I can do it, or anyone, really.

[Eitot]

The Caskroom maintainers decided against that name when the cask was added, per https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-cask/pull/24969#issuecomment-250848695.

vitorgalvao has made fair points. In that case, I will just add a section to the README about it.

Sorry for replying on a closed issue but i found this is where it suits best. I somehow wonder why there's no way to build the 57 version on the mac. Maybe cask is the way to go here but many users don't have homebrew in favour of a different pkg-manager. I'd be really keen to know why currently there's no mac 57-option willing to spend some time on building this if possible without a strict requirement for homebrew (so free to chose brew, macports or nixpkg).

You could try setting up an environment with udocker, and compile from there.

[Eloston]

@dieideeistgut There's no version 57 support for macOS yet because it hasn't been updated yet.

[dieideeistgut]

@Eloston is this why i can't generate matching buildfiles targetting macos as the process changed since the 55? Maybe i can help @9Morello out if he needs some helping hands doing the dirty-work?

[Eloston]

@dieideeistgut macOS support haven't been implemented in the build files generator yet, nor has any of the macOS-specific patches been updated yet.

I don't know if 9Morello needs help or not. You can ask by sending a One-to-One message on Gitter.

[9Morello]

I would appreciate some help as I'm not going to have free time until after the next week.

@dieideeistgut If you want to make a personal build, you can use the scripts to build the source, apply the patches and domain substitution and build everything manually.

[dieideeistgut]

@9Morello i'll give it a shot during next week, let's see how far i'll come
