Can't launch a build locally --> zygote_host_impl_linux.cc(201)] Check failed: . : No such file or directory (2)

[Merlin]

I've just compiled Chromium on Arch Linux on a VPS.  My local machine is on the same distro and they both are up to date.

I then downloaded out/build1/chrome onto my local machine and ran it. A few times it threw exceptions, which I dealt with  downloading some files from the "out" directory onto my local machine. However, eventually I got into this one which I haven't been able to resolve thus far:

./my_chromium

[229623:229623:0509/140628.363314:FATAL:zygote_host_impl_linux.cc(201)] Check failed: . : No such file or directory (2)
zsh: trace trap (core dumped)  ./my_chromium

If I use --no-sandbox flag  it won't resolve the error but will make it a slightly more different:

./my_chromium --no-sandbox                     
zsh: trace trap (core dumped)  ./my_chromium --no-sandbox

 --no-zygote-sandbox -- the same as the 1st error

What's the matter? How to fix this?

You're probably hitting this line of code:

https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:content/browser/zygote_host/zygote_host_impl_linux.cc;l=200;drc=342ae5d5c25e7ce4b91f5db370e08f1c592c635e

Even though the distros are the same, you're probably missing more important pieces from the out directory. Downloading files piece by piece is not a supported configuration; I suspect if you downloaded the entire out directory, this would start working, but I assume you don't want to do that, either.

If there's something else you want to try, you could recompile with is_component_build=false, as that should avoid the use of shared libraries created by Chromium. To be clear, though, this isn't a supported way of running Chromium, and you're largely on your own.
