Compilation Error: EventNames.h : fata error C1083:Cannot open include file:'EventInterfaces.h' : No such file or directory

[tomato]

I am trying to compile Chromium on VS 2010 Windows 7 64 bit, but getting following error

 EventNames.h : fata error C1083:Cannot open include file:'EventInterfaces.h' : No such file or directory

I am not sure where to find EventInterfaces.h

Can someone suggest?

Hi,

did you run `gclient sync`?

ps: Questions about building the code probably get more answers on
chromium-dev. There's also the #chromium irc channel on freenode.

Hi

I have followed following steps

1) download source tarball

2) Install windows 8 SDK and directX

3)set GV_MSVS_VERSION=2010

4) Went to src folder and ran gclient runhooks

5) opened chrome.sln and build in VS 2010

I did not ran gclient sync since it was not mention in build steps

this was not working so I checkout completes source code and tried to build from that also. this was also not working.

Any suggestions.

You have to run 'gclient sync' if you haven't yet.

The preferred way to get the sources is described at http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/UsingNewGit.

Hi

I just tried with clean copy again and got same error. I did following

1) download source tarball

2) unzipped source

3) ran command> set GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2010

4) ran command> gclient sync

5) ran command> gclient runhooks

6) open chrome.sln in VS2010

7) selected chrome as startup project

8) build chrome project

Please let me know if I am missing something here.

keep the thread here updated too.)
