Good day.

After switching to GN build tools I can not build dmg file anymore. Before, with GYP, I used "build_app_dmg" target to get a disk image after build complete. Now, in GN i see some part of building an image process, but do not understand how to use them. Also all jobs in buildbot building only chrome target, no any clue about how to make an image now.

Please, help. How to build Chromium.dmg with gn?

Thanks.

We removed the target that runs build_app_dmg because it's not used in the Chrome build process (an internal-only script produces the DMGs separately of the build) and we don't distribute Chromium DMGs. The build_app_dmg script still lives in the tree (for now) and it's just a wrapper around the pkg-dmg script, which is what actually produces the DMG. You can see how it was calling pkg-dmg and invoke this yourself.

Hi, Robert.

Thanks for your advice, did it with build_app_dmg shell script manually.
