Running Breach on Linux

SUID Sandbox problem

Breach is based on the Chromium content module which requires a SUID sandbox process to chroot the renderer processes on linux. Running Breach out of the box on linux will probably result in the following error:

[4590:4590:0721/143932:27331338145:FATAL:browser_main_loop.cc(172)] Running without the SUID sandbox! See https://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/LinuxSUIDSandboxDevelopment for more information on developing with the sandbox on.
Aborted (core dumped)

To properly handle the access to the sandbox you have the following solutions:

Point Breach to an existing `chrome-sandbox If you have chrome installed locally you can point Breach to the SUID sandbox locally installed. Depending on your install the path may change, but you should set the following environment variable:

export CHROME_DEVEL_SANDBOX=/usr/local/sbin/chrome-devel-sandbox

Install the chrome-devel-sandbox By following the instructions provided in the error: LinuxSUIDSandboxDevelopment

libudev.so.0 problem

libudev0 has been removed from recent distributions and prevents from running Breach out of the box resulting in an error at startup.

A great tutorial has been put together for node-webkit that is perfectly applicable for Breach as well: The solution of lacking libudev.so.0
