I have noticed there were some fails after running the included test, results of the test can be found in the appropriate folder.

phantomjs-linux-armv6l

PhantomJS compiled on Raspberry PI (Raspbian "wheezy"). Stable 1.9.0 courtesy of aeberhardo. I will try and put up weekly builds of the phantomjs master branch. Building it yourself is straight forward but will take about 24 to 36 hours.

PhantomJS is a headless WebKit with JavaScript API. It has fast and native support for various web standards: DOM handling, CSS selector, JSON, Canvas, and SVG. (http://phantomjs.org).

Installation on Raspberry PI

Download the archive and extract the binary:

$ cd /tmp
$ wget https://github.com/aeberhardo/phantomjs-linux-armv6l/archive/master.zip
$ unzip master.zip
$ cd phantomjs-linux-armv6l-master
$ bunzip2 *.bz2 && tar xf *.tar

The binary phantomjs is located in the bin directory:

$ ./phantomjs-1.9.0-linux-armv6l/bin/phantomjs --version
1.9.0

I achieved the best screenshot results with the following font configuration.

Caution: The following steps could mess up the font configuration for other applications!

$ cd /usr/share
$ sudo mv fonts fonts.bak
$ sudo mkdir fonts

$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall ttf-mscorefonts-installer

$ sudo rm /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/andalemo.ttf
$ sudo rm /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Andale_Mono.ttf

$ sudo fc-cache -rv

Build Process

PhantomJS has been built using the process described below.

1. Prerequisites (PhantomJS 1.9) According to http://phantomjs.org/build.html (libxft-dev was added as suggested by https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/phantomjs/7AoQB_Q5GqM/w6HwGN7mJh8J) :

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential chrpath git-core libssl-dev libfontconfig1-dev libxft-dev
$ git clone git://github.com/ariya/phantomjs.git
$ cd phantomjs
$ git checkout 1.9

1. Prerequisites (PhantomJS 2.0) Step 2 can be skipped as it is already included The QT5 build will most likely fail because there is not enough memory so to solve this you'll have to set up the swap file with around 512MB of memory.

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential chrpath git-core libssl-dev libfontconfig1-dev libxft-dev g++ flex bison gperf ruby perl libsqlite3-dev libicu-dev libfreetype6 libpng-dev libjpeg-dev sqlite3 gperf libicu48 python
$ git clone git://github.com/ariya/phantomjs.git
$ cd phantomjs

2. Download additional 3rdparty files:

$ mkdir src/qt/src/3rdparty/pixman && pushd src/qt/src/3rdparty/pixman && curl -O http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/blobs/raw/4.8/src/3rdparty/pixman/README && curl -O http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/blobs/raw/4.8/src/3rdparty/pixman/pixman-arm-neon-asm.h && curl -O http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/blobs/raw/4.8/src/3rdparty/pixman/pixman-arm-neon-asm.S; popd

Or get the pixman folder from this repo and place it in the ./src/qt/src/3rdparty folder.

3. Open ./build.sh and delete lines 11-34:

.. ...
11 if [[ "$MAKEFLAGS" != "" ]]; then
12 MAKEFLAGS_JOBS=$(echo $MAKEFLAGS | egrep -o '\-j[0-9]+' | egrep -o '[0-9]+')
.. ...
34 fi
.. ...

4. Open ./src/qt/preconfig.sh and add the option ' -no-pch' to QT_CFG after ' -no-stl' (For PhantomJS 2 you can add this to line 105):

.. ...
29 QT_CFG+=' -no-exceptions'       # Don't use C++ exception
30 QT_CFG+=' -no-stl'              # No need for STL compatibility
31 QT_CFG+=' -no-pch'
.. ...

5. Start compilation (Important you use nohup as it allows you to logout of the ssh session without interupting the build process.):

$ nohup ./build.sh --confirm > build.sh.out 2> build.sh.err &

6. Create tarball according to http://phantomjs.org/build.html :

./deploy/package.sh

7. The tarball can be found in the ./deploy directory.

8. Possible issue that it loads pages very slow, solution is to disable IPv6 by adding net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1 to /etc/sysctl.conf.
