Building chromium fails

[Bhogi Yogi]

Hey there.

I'm trying out building chromium by the following link I strictly followed the tutorial steps.

Every step is performed. then when I run autoninja -C out/Default chrome_public_apk, it fails. Please see the error logs which contain "web layer - webview" related steps

Please note - I'm using: python 3.7.5 ubuntu 18.04.5

I also tried building it from scratch but the same thing happens.

Anyone please guild me

Are you (intentionally) attempting to compile 'system_webview_no_weblayer_apk'? I ask because, as far as I know, that should not be a dependency of 'chrome_public_apk'. They share some of the same code, but they're two different top-level targets.

If your goal is just to compile 'chrome_public_apk' and you don't actually intend to compile WebView, then I think chromi...@chromium.org would be a better mailing list because this seems to be a problem with either chrome build documentation or the chrome build target's dependencies.

I just try to build 'chrome_public_apk' but it is giving this error, that's why I was wondering!!

[Nate Fischer]

It's very surprising to me that compiling that target would cause this error. I think you should ask chromium-dev@ and explicitly mention that you're not compiling WebView and you don't understand why your GN args (which you should include in the email) don't work for a fresh compile.

The WebView team would be happy to investigate if WebView really is the culprit here, but generally speaking our team is not responsible for the chrome_public_apk build target so I think it's more productive if that target's owners do a first triage pass.

Okay, Thanks for the reference.

Hey chromium-dev

Can you guys please look into it a bit and help me out?

[Takuto Ikuta]

Which git revision and what args.gn do you use for your build?

chromium git revision having tag v100.0.4896.92 (i.e. 81820453ed7ee46ca0606074034b35f2e0817592)

args.gn :

target_os = "android"

target_cpu = "arm64"

also tried with

is_debug = false

is_component_build = false

target_os = "android"

target_cpu = "arm"

This reproduced locally and there is a fix in https://crbug.com/1305492#c1.
