Hi all,

I build Chromium 131(git commit:  794c18335b016a2e6457a69289df574586941b08, branch-heads: 6778) on macOS 15.5(mac sdk version: 15.0 ), The build was successful, but there was a problem running

This is my gn args :

# Set build arguments here. See `gn help buildargs`.
is_debug = true
target_cpu = "arm64"
is_component_build = true
clang_use_chrome_plugins = false
use_system_xcode = true

This is the error details:

$ out/debug/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium

[1] 33111 abort out/debug/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium

I tried to modify is_component_build = false in args, which can solve this problem, but it will affect my debugging work. Are there any other solutions?

You’re using an old, outdated, and unsupported version of Chromium. 131.0.6778 branched on 2024-10-14, released to stable on 2024-11-12, and was superseded on stable with the release of 132.0.6834 on 2025-01-14.

This is my gn args :

# Set build arguments here. See `gn help buildargs`.
is_debug = true
target_cpu = "arm64"
is_component_build = true
clang_use_chrome_plugins = false
use_system_xcode = true

Your version of Chrome doesn’t have the fix for https://crbug.com/404905688, llvm lld-macho e385ec90e2cb (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/132275, 2025-03-21) in its lld linker. That fix was rolled into Chrome in b87f6bba4ad3 (https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/6425307, 2025-04-03), first appearing in Chrome 137.0.7107 (canary release on 2025-04-03).
