chrome link error: error: cannot open output file ./chrome: Is a directory

Hi all,

I was trying to build chromium from source but it failed at end while linking final chrome.

The error is as :

[src ]$ninja -C out/Release_GN_x64/ chrome

ninja: Entering directory `out/Release_GN_x64/'

[3410/3410] LINK ./chrome

FAILED: chrome

/home/santoshmahto/COLLABORA/COLLBORA/cef-main/chromium/src/out/Release_GN_x64/../../third_party/llvm-build/Release+Asserts/bin/ld.lld: error: cannot open output file ./chrome: Is a directory

Initially I was thinking this is due to OOM when it failed in machine with 12GB RAM, but when I built with 16GB RAM its still failing with same error.

Could anyone give pointer what could be the reason here or possible solution. ?

Thanks to all

Santosh

`rm -rf out/Release_GN_x64/chrome` and then retrying will probably get things going, but it's not clear what created that directory in the first place. Did you manually create it? If not, what's `ls out/Release_GN_x64/chrome`?

Hi,

Thanks Nico, Actually there was folder created with name chrome and inside some locales were populated. I fixed that issue. Thanks for pointing out that,

Regards
