Berkelium extension for Kivy - DEPRECATED, use https://github.com/kivy-garden/garden.cefpython instead.

Berkelium extension for Kivy

Berkelium is a BSD licensed library for offscreen rendering via Chromium project. Check http://berkelium.org/ for more information about it. We are using a patched version of Berkelium, available at https://github.com/tito/berkelium (branch chromium8-alternate-bin)

Notes

• This extension require Kivy 1.0.7 minimum !
• This extension is under development. It's currently working and tested only for Linux 64 bits.
• MacOSX can't be supported at the moment, since Kivy require Python 64bits, and Chromium can't be built under 64bits on MacOSX.

How to install

1. Download .kex https://github.com/kivy/kivy-berkelium/archives/master
2. Copy the .kex to ~/.kivy/extensions

How to test

1. Download https://github.com/kivy/kivy-berkelium/raw/master/demo/main.py
2. Run with "python main.py"

How to recompile

Note

This method have been tested only on Linux (Ubuntu 11.10 and 12.04) 64bits.

1. sudo apt-get install binutils-gold chrpath git-core cython python-dev
2. git clone git://github.com/sirikata/berkelium
3. cd berkelium
4. git checkout chromium11
5. util/build-chromium.sh --deps --force
6. cmake . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
7. git submodule update --init --recursive
8. make
9. git clone git://github.com/kivy/kivy-berkelium
10. cd kivy-berkelium
11. make
12. mv dist/berkelium-1.3.linux-x86_64.zip dist/berkelium-1.3.linux-x86_64.kex

And you can copy the berkelium-1.3.linux-x86_64.kex into your ~/.kivy/extensions

kivy-berkelium's Issues

Alignment problem

Berkelium renders from the start of the screen and not from the column it is in, when not in first column of a layout, even the input seems a bit off as one has to click on the right of the actual link/button to register a input.

changing line 353: in 'init.py' in the extensions dir to
self._g_rect = Rectangle(texture=self._bk.texture, pos=self.pos, size=self.size ) # pos=self.pos

and adding the following line in on_size in init.py after line no 376: self._g_rect.texture = self._bk.texture

377: self._g_rect.pos = self.pos #_____addition

seems to fix this.

new tabs

are there some way add tabs o new windows ?

32 Bit Makefile

Hello !

I am working on getting kivy-berkelium running on Ubuntu 11.10 32Bit.
I've got berkelium already running which was a very very long process of research and fixing :|

Now I am at trying to compile the kivy extension - everything works well until it comes
to the the "Patches data" part.

~/Desktop/berkelium/kivy-berkelium$ make# Create data dir
rm -rf berkelium/data
mkdir berkelium/data
# Copy needed data
cp ../berkelium ../liblibberkelium.so ../resources.pak ../chrome.pak berkelium/data
cp -r ../locales berkelium/data
cp ../build/chromium/src/out/Release/libffmpegsumo.so berkelium/data
# Patches data
chrpath -r '$ORIGIN' berkelium/data/berkelium berkelium/data/liblibberkelium.so
berkelium/data/berkelium: RPATH=/home/touchlaydev/Desktop/berkelium
berkelium/data/berkelium: new RPATH: $ORIGIN
berkelium/data/liblibberkelium.so: no rpath or runpath tag found.
make: *** [copy] Error 2

What is that "Patches data" part even doing ?

I have managed to fix that problem by using an older Berkelium version.
But I do still get an error with the _berkelium.cpp file becouse a "initEx"
function isn't existing ...
http://pastebin.com/6nTBXtnB

I have looked into the Berkelium.hpp where that function should be
contained - there isn't such function.

Hope someone can help me with that :)

Thanks in advance

libstdc++ requirement unmet

berkelium extension requires libbz2.so.1.0 and mandriva 2010.2 has only libbz2.so.1 and libbz2.so.1.0.0
symlinking works here , but

Mandriva 2010.2 only has libstdc++6 compiled with 4.4.3 and libstdc+5+ compiled with 3.3.6
and berklium is complaining for libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.14'

here is the output of the console:

Hello,

I would like to report an issue when i run the test file on the git.
When i run the main.py i get this error :

Traceback (most recent call last):

     berkelium = load('berkelium', (1, 1))

Ubuntu 13.04 64 bits.

Thanks in advance,
