Linuxulator / Chrome

chance of someone having done this here.]


Hi all. Will Chrome work on Linuxulator if I chase down enough dependencies?    
I'm trying to get BlueJeans running, and it's balking in both Firefox and       
Chromium on FreeBSD (11-STABLE) so I figured I'd give Chrome under the          
Linuxulator a try. I hit several missing libraries until I realized I needed    
to install the whole linux-c6 (also tried linux-c7) suite.                      
                                                                                
Once that was done, I hit this:                                                 
                                                                                
    ./chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4: cannot     
    open shared object file: No such file or directory                          
                                                                                
We don't seem to have a package for it.                                         
                                                                                
I tried running ldd to see what other libraries I'd need, but the ldd in        
/compat bailed out, saying "missing file". I suspect it's not intended to be    
used, as it has /bin/bash in the shebang line. The native LDD was unhappy       
with the Chrome binary.                                                         
                                                                                
I've now pulled out a list of libraries from a Linux machine where I could      
run ldd, and I can collect the libraries by hand from Linux to populate         
/compat, but I'm really interested in knowing if anyone's gotten Chrome         
working this way, or if I'll run into known obstacles once I have all the       
libraries in place.                                                             
                                                                                
Thanks!
