ninja: error: loading 'build.ninja': No such file or directory

[Carlo Gandolfi]

I'm trying to build Chromium on OS X 10.8, using ninja but I get this error:

$ ninja -C /Users/admin/chromium_27.0.1453.110/src/xcodebuild/Release chrome

ninja: Entering directory `/Users/admin/chromium_27.0.1453.110/src/xcodebuild/Release'

ninja: error: loading 'build.ninja': No such file or directory

Thanks in advance for your help.

Did you follow the instructions at https://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/NinjaBuild to generate the ninja build files?

The ninja build files are generated into a directory called 'out' by default, try replacing 'xcodebuild' with 'out' in the command line.

Yes, 've followed the instructions and now I've found 'out' directory (sorry didn't find it before), now I run:

Mac-mini-di-Admin:chrome admin$ ninja -C /Users/admin/chromium_27.0.1453.110/src/out/Release chrome

And is working..

Thanks

Is the out folder already created in the src folder?

I am trying to build chromium for Linux. There's no out folder generated. I could not find build.ninja file as well.

I followed https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/linux_build_instructions.md

These are the steps i followed

1) I ran 'fetch chromium --nohooks --no-histoty'  - completed successfuly

2)while doing build-dependencies there were errors

E: Unable to locate package lib32ncurses5-dev

E: Unable to locate package lib32z1-dev

I installed these packages manualy.

3)gclient sync     - completed successfuly

4) gclient runhooks 

How ever there's no such out/Debug , or out/Release folder generated.

How come? Did runhooks finish without any errors?

The following does not work for you?

$ ninja -C out/Release chrome

Hi, I am facing the same issue in building the Chromium_public.apk, The error message says
ninja: Entering directory `out/Default'

ninja: error: loading 'build.ninja': No such file or directory

I have followed all the steps from this link
https://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/android-build-instructions using GN build

The question is I couldn't find the ninja build files in Out/Default. And there is only one file args.gn
What I am doing wrong, please help me.

Thanks

You probably interrupted ninja during the regenerating ninja files stage of the build: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=406237

You can fix this by just running gn gen out/Default again.

Hi Daniel,

    Thanks for your Solution and that worked like charm,
I just ran the command as you said "gn gen out/Default" from src dir. and that Fixed the issue. You saved my day.
