You got the license wrong. It is available under the Clarified Artistic License, not the LGPL. Did you make any code changes to support Haiku? If so it would be great if you could send me them so that they can be included in the next version.

  Translations posted by pabs @ 122.105.79.66 on Feb 23 2010 8:29 AM  

Chromium B.S.U. now allows translations. If you have time and can read and write both English and another language, please contribute a translation or improve the 3 existing translations. You can contribute translations through transifex.net or by submitting them directly to the patch tracker. You can also send them to the mailing list. You can also send them directly to me.

Well I play this game but it crashes ~700,000 most times. And this is on a few different boxes and different cpu's. And when you do hit 1,000,000 it starts over at zero, but the speed continues at the high rate. Anyone else have this issue? Thanks AJ

It would be great if you could investigate the crash and report a bug with more details in the bug tracker.

  difficult to play, but very good game posted by xteraco @ 67.133.153.3 on Apr 24 2009 3:51 PM 55555
I find the difficulty level of this game to be quite high. Even when the game is set at the lower levels I don't do too well. This could be the fact that I don't have much practice, or it could be my mouse, or even a combination.

Game wise though, excellent! Very professional look and feel.

or it could just be intended as such, from the FAQ:

Q: I keep getting killed. Why is is so difficult?
A: Quitcher whinin', you ninny! It's supposed to be hard! Seriously, Chromium B.S.U. is intended to be a 15 minute adrenaline rush/mental cleanser. Frequent doses of explosions (even your own) can be very therapeutic.

  test for glpng fails, but it's there... posted by fossiltoe @ 216.229.17.12 on Jul 3 2008 1:51 AM  
On linux (slackware 12.0), I'm trying to install chromium from the tarball distribution. I didn't have glpng. So I download it, and it compiles to make libglpng.a. I put that in /usr/local/lib, root.root, 644 I can compile the test program that comes with it, which does call pngBind. But the ./configure script that comes with Chromium dies at: checking for pngBind in -lglpng... no configure: error: cannot find glpng (image loader) Help appreciated

That should be fixed in the latest version, if not, please file a bug report. Help to remove the glpng dependency would be nice too.
