Hi,

Happy new year to all of you, hope you are doing well.
I wants to build chromium for mac with my own extension so that when launch browser, extensions should be pre-bundled in browser.

for windows i follow the instructions given here - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50125821/standard-way-to-build-a-chrome-extension-into-chromium  and it is working.
 but for mac they are not working.
I think changes should be in step 1 above method. in which i need to either change 'is_win' to equivalent mac syntax( don't know if is_mac work? ) or put code in else condition. but i am not sure about the ' outputs = [
"$root_out_dir/extensions/{{source_file_part}}", ] ' . is this remain same for mac also or do i need to change accordingly? i tried the URL instruction with putting object in else condition in step 1. it compile successfully but when i launch browser it show 'package is invalid CRX_FILE_NOT_READABLE' .
Please help me with this.

also if you have any other solution for this please let me know.

Thank You
