building chromium on linux

[نبيل يونس Nabeel Younus‎]

Hi,

  I am only looking to build the 'base' only from chromium in linux.

  What changes I need to make in gyp_chromium or all.gyp to do that.

Regards,
Nabeel

None.

ninja -C out/Release base

Hi Nico,

    I am trying to use ninja now. But it kind of taking too much time. . . Following is the output I am getting:-

teknique@ubuntu:~/experimentation/chromium/src/base$ sudo ninja -C out/Release base

log: ninja version 0.1.3 initializing

log: magic group: gid=0 (root)

log: entering main loop

log: generating initial pid array..

log: now monitoring process activity

   Any thing I am doing wrong ? 

   What I need to have an out folder with .o libs . . .

Regards,

Nabeel

You're getting the wrong `ninja`.

Running "which ninja" should point to the depot_tools version, you'll probably need to fix your PATH.

You are using a wrong ninja (which is not a build tool). Use ninja bundled with depot tools.

Also, don't use sudo for building. Chromium builds don't require root privilege.

(Also, don't run with sudo.)

Hi Everyone,

    Actually, I have a part of Chromium library. Because we have to integrate it with some existing system which does not support all libraries.

    So basically I am trying to update ALL.GYP to load only base library stuff. I know it sounds wierd. 

    SO basically, when I run gyp_chromium, I get multiple MakeFiles in base folder. Though I am not getting any generic MakeFile which can then build the libs with in base. 

    I got it once by some trick but don't know how I got it. Cannot get it back again.

Regards,

Nabeel

ninja doesn't use Makefile.

Please read the build instructions carefully and try to get functional chrome binary first. make isn't supported at this point.

Also, note that this is not a help forum. If you are trying to build some custom stuff, that's fine, but it's basically "at your own risk"-kind of thing which we are unlikely to provide meaningful support for.

Thanks,

Yuta

If you are on Linux run: 

export GYP_GENERATORS=ninja

build/gyp_chromium

On Windows is similar I think:

set GYP_GENERATORS=ninja

Though, I thought ninja would be the default generator already, so you wouldn't need to set GYP_GENERATORS.

Do you have set it to make?

Are you following our instructions to get the code?

It should be pretty straight forward, but looks like you are trying to checkout base in a standalone maner, and that is not officialy supported.
