use_dbus

[Alexander Altshuler]

Hi

I'm trying to build Chromium on Linux without dbus.

I specify use_dbus = false argument, but still have an errors like below:

In file included from ../../device/media_transfer_protocol/media_transfer_protocol_daemon_client.cc:12:0:

../../dbus/bus.h:8:23: fatal error: dbus/dbus.h: No such file or directory

 #include <dbus/dbus.h>

Is it possible to completely avoid dbus?

PS: I use 54.0.2825.1.tags.

Regards

Alexander Altshuler

You might be able to avoid dbus when building the content layer, but I
doubt it's possible for chromium without a lot of patching.

The //device/media_transfer_protocol target always depends on dbus even
though it has an "if (use_dbus) { ... }" block, if you want to
investigate further you should see where
//device/media_transfer_protocol is pulled into the dependency tree and
try to remove it.

Which functionality will miss Chromium if I link it with libdbus, but because dbus daemon is not running connection just fail?

Is it something critical?

It may be possible to build the build target "content" with use_dbus=false, but AFAIK no one is seriously maintaining the build target "chrome" with use_dbus=false.

Is this the only build error when use_dbus=false, or just the first
one you hit? i.e. when you run: ninja chrome --your-options -k, where
the "-k" lets the build keep going after errors, how many more errors
are you hitting?

For device/media_transfer_protocol, someone reported
https://crbug.com/639863 so I'll see if we can fix it for you there.
That may be just the tip of the iceberg though.
