Building Android: browser_dependencies cannot include dep path to content?

[Demetrios Tsillas]

Hi All,

when trying to build my forked chrome on Android I run into this problem:

(HEAD detached at d2e8ab2324f0)) $ ninja -C out/Release

ninja: Entering directory `out/Release'

[1/1] Regenerating ninja files

FAILED: build.ninja 

/home/jtsillas/Work/worktree2/src/buildtools/linux64/gn --root=/home/viasat/Work/worktree2/src -q gen .

ERROR at //chrome/BUILD.gn:1603:1: assert_no_deps failed.

group("browser_dependencies") {

^------------------------------

//chrome:browser_dependencies has an assert_no_deps entry:

  //third_party/WebKit/public:blink

which fails for the dependency path:

  //chrome:browser_dependencies ->

  //chrome/browser:browser ->

  //chrome/browser/ui:ui ->

  //third_party/<mystuff>/browser/<mycomponent>:<mydep> ->

  //content:content ->

  //content/gpu:gpu_sources ->

  //content/child:child ->

  //media/blink:blink ->

  //cc/blink:blink ->

  //third_party/WebKit/public:blink

ninja: error: rebuilding 'build.ninja': subcommand failed

The dep which is causing this is in <mycomponent>/BUILD.gn which wants to refer to some functions out of content to download a file.

This dep works fine on the other platforms but is not working on Android. Is there a suggested way to achieve what I want?

thanks!!!

-Jim.

Changing the dep to     "//content/public/browser:browser" fixed it.
