Have you had any success compiling the NPAPI version of google gears, I think this is necessary for Chromium

@Will, thanks for pointing out the typos clearly. Now, they should all be corrected. About the build failure, I didn't notice there was any. I guess that wasn't critical.

Hi there,
Again, I found this through issues 335, followed you instructions and now have a working gears (fedora 10, x86_64) - thanks!
A couple of minor typos:
- There's a newline missing on the 'cd gearsmake BROSWER=FF3' line
- There's also a newline missing on the first line when copying the libs across from xulrunner
- 'gears/in-opt/installers' should be 'gears/bin-opt/installers'

Also, there was a build failure in wifi_data_provider_common.cc - the set of #ifs for this combo meant assert.h wasn't being included, and is needed to compile UpdatePollingInterval().
This might be new but I thought I'd mention it in case someone else is struggling. I'm building r3258 of the gears svn tree. assert.h is easily included directly before the function, but I doubt this is the proper fix.

Thanks again.

@KyleG I am glad this build also works on Ubuntu!
