chromeos build

[Thiago Farina]

Is anyone getting this when trying the os=chromeos build?

$ gn gen --args='os="chromeos"' out_gn_chromeos/Debug 

ERROR at //build/config/linux/pkg_config.gni:66:17: Script returned non-zero exit code.

    pkgresult = exec_script(pkg_config_script, args, "value")

                ^----------

Current dir: /home/tfarina/chromium/src/out_gn_chromeos/Debug/

Command: python /home/tfarina/chromium/src/build/config/linux/pkg-config.py harfbuzz

Returned 1 and printed out:

Could not run pkg-config.

stderr:

Package harfbuzz was not found in the pkg-config search path.

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `harfbuzz.pc'

to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

No package 'harfbuzz' found

See //third_party/harfbuzz-ng/BUILD.gn:44:3: whence it was called.

  pkg_config("harfbuzz_pkgconfig") {

  ^---------------------------------

The solution for me is to add use_system_harfbuzz=false to --args list.

I think I got this when running on Precise.  The answer was either use_system_harfbuzz=false or upgrade to Trusty.

If this works in gyp but not in gn, this is probably a bug. The thread "Re: [chrome-os-desktopui] chromeos=1 flag with GN" on gn-dev suggests that mukai@ and cmasone@ were working on this at some point, they can probably review fixes.

It is being set to true for chromeos build in https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/third_party/harfbuzz-ng/BUILD.gn regardless.

GYP version does not do this though:

Yeah, that is a bug, I think, and we should probably do the pkg-config check even if is_chromeos is true.

OK, I put something up for review. https://codereview.chromium.org/846073005

It worked for me without having to pass use_system_harfbuzz=false in --args to 'gn gen'.
