Chromium build on VS2010 - help needed

[Guy Soffer]

Hi,

 

I am trying to compile on windows 7, MSVC 2010, with SDK 7.1A and 8 installed.

I have all the other pre-requisites installed, and am getting errors on compiling base_paths_win.cc:

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Include\shared\wtypesbase.h(260): error C2011: '_COAUTHIDENTITY' : 'struct' type redefinition
          C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\include\wtypes.h(501) : see declaration of '_COAUTHIDENTITY'

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Include\shared\wtypesbase.h(393): warning C4005: 'CLSCTX_VALID_MASK' : macro redefinition
<snip>

 

Seems like win8 SDK and win7A SDK do not like each other.. anoyone ran into this before ?

I would appreciate any help you can give, as I cannot get the baseline to compile at all.

 

Yours,

Have you followed the instructions at http://dev.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/build-instructions-windows?

The Windows 8 SDK is required to build chromium:

Try setting the windows_sdk_path in GYP_DEFINES to the path where the windows 8 SDK is installed.

@Guy, I'm today having the very same problem, I've already set the GYP variable and I'm still getting the same errors. 

What did you do to get it working?

Thanks!
