Yes, I have already built with this command $ ninja -C out / Default chrome.

It works fine, but my question how to have an installable version.

For my browser named "dev_smart". All it works in chromium. And the file size is too large in chromium 983M0. If I see other browser like firefox, google chrome and vivaldi just about 70MO the executable.

My goal: - have a personal browser named "dev_smart"

              - have a dev_smart.exe, dev_smart.tar.gz, or dev_smart.sh version

You will not have an .exe file, because Linux does not use .exe files (as far as I know).

I am not sure about an installer, sorry.

Regarding the file size, you probably built a debug version, try out/Release instead of out/Default, perhaps.

(Or maybe wait for other people to respond, as building takes time)

If out/Release doesn’t exist, you can create it by running this command:

$ gn args out/Release

A file will appear in a text editor, replace its content with this:

is_debug = false

You can also out/Release/args.gn in any text editor, and then run this command:

$ gn gen out/Release

When you build with this directory, it should be smaller/faster.

Don't know if it will work on Linux but on Windows I use: "ninja -C out\OutFolder mini_installer" to create a installer

Thank you very much, but they can be effective, and I will make them to proceed row. I made an attempt for chromium android with the following command:


chromium/src$ . build/android/envsetup.sh

chromium/src$ third_party/android_tools/sdk/platform-tools/adb devices
this error  out:

db devices
List of devices attachedV160XX560900803 no permissions (verify udev rules); see [http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html]

What is likely to be the solution?

Have a look at the section that starts with "If you're developing on Ubuntu Linux, ..." on the web page you just listed.
