Problems with building Chromium for Android

[DominiValenti]

Hi,

I want building Chromium for Android and used Instructions by link:
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/HEAD/docs/android_build_instructions.md
I try Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04, 20.04, Python2, Python3, but always the same problems:
$ gclient sync or gclient runhooks

Running hooks:  48% (71/147) doclava                                                
________ running 'python3 src/build/android/download_doclava.py' in '/root/chromium'

/root/chromium/src/third_party/depot_tools/dirmd: line 14: /root/chromium/src/third_party/depot_tools/.cipd_bin/dirmd: No such file or directory

How to solve this problem?

I encountered the same issue, and this workaround helped me out.

// at chromium/src

cd third_party/depot_tools/

./cipd ensure  --ensure-file $PWD/cipd_manifest.txt  --root $PWD/.cipd_bin

Hello,

same problem here, building Chromium for Linux on Ubuntu 22.04:

~/chromium/chromium/src$ gclient runhooks

Nothing to do, all files are synced

I'm having this same issue on Macbook Air M2 15inch, and Macbook M2 Pro. Can't seem to get past the fetching of the code and the runhooks. 

1. I have tried a few times in fresh directories
2. Tried deleting src/third_party/depot_tools and trying gclient sync
   
3. Tried removing all other Python installations from the system.

Seeing the exact same issue setting up Chromium on a new macbook... right after setting up depot_tools, I get the following when initially running `caffeinate fetch --no-history chromium`:

 I don't have a `/Users/jonj/projects/chromium/src/third_party/depot_tools/.cipd_bin` directory, though my depot_tools installation does 🤔.

Thank you, it worked as a charm!
