How can I build chromium in visual studio 2015?

[Haibara Ai]

I have posted this question in stackoverflow but seems no one would like to response. I just come here and want have a ask if anyone can help me how I can build chromium in visual studio 2015? The previous post:

I'm following The Chromium Projects to build chromium browser on Windows. When I go to Run post-sync hooks step and run

gclient runhooks

The following errors show,

My visual studio version is 2015 and from the errors above, it seems vs 2013 is not found. Does anyone know how can I build with vs 2015? Thanks!

VS2015 should soon (if not already) become the default compiler. At least you should be able to try it out by setting GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2015 and running "gclient runhooks".

Thanks Anton, however, after I set GYP_MSVS_VERSION = 2015, there is still errors hitting.

D:\Chromium\chromium>gclient runhooks

Many thanks for the help! I solved this problem by setting DEPOT_TOOLS_WIN_TOOLCHAIN = 0 and setting GYP_MSVS_VERSION = 2015 

Exactly! Thanks primiano! I used to set TOOLCHAIN = 0 in a previous session but forget to set it again in the current session. Now it works, many thanks to all!

Please DO follow the instructions in http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/build-instructions-windows step by step.

I have followed them few weeks ago on a personal (i.e. non-Google) machine and was able to build both with MSVS 2013 and MSVS2015 with no issues.

It smells like you are missing the  set DEPOT_TOOLS_WIN_TOOLCHAIN=0  or something else mentioned there.

Perhaps it's still not working yet.

I just referred to https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/chromium-dev/6Wd16Iqhy9Y

You can find the tracking bug for the work enabling building with VS 2015 there.

Resending after joining chromium-discuss:

I'm glad to hear that this is working now. The failure modes could definitely be improved (better error messages) and I'll see about doing that. This is being tracked by crbug.com/582899

Hello, I'm getting this error even after setting those two env variables mentioned in previous posts. Any ideas where to go from here?
