Is there a way, when building Atom from source, to also build Atom Shell so that it uses the system-installed Chromium binary? I’m using Gentoo and the chromium binary and libs are optimized so I thought it would be cool that Atom uses it instead of its own copy.
Any take on this? Didn’t find much in the docs or on these forums.
There was a similar discussion a while back about specifying the version of Node that Atom uses:
I feel like the answer is probably the same, it’s a support nightmare if everyone is using a different version of Chromium.
Nice reply. So my next question is: if I have lots of time to kill, can Atom be built including its Chromium from source?
