Chromium build issue

[gz83]

Hello, I want to cross-compile Chromium for Windows ARM under the Debian system. I encountered a lot of `clang: no input file` errors during the compilation process, which caused the compilation to be interrupted. How should I solve this problem?

I went to check the file that reported the error and found that the file `boringssl_prefix_symbols_asm.h` was referenced, but this file was not found in the chromium source code.

By the way, the error content is in the screenshot, please check.

[Sergey Kipet]

Hi, it looks like a lack from some of the third_party libraries. Have you run 'gclient sync' before building your Chromium project instance?

BRs,

Sergey

Still can't compile normally

[Bruce Dawson]

As the first reply said you probably haven't run gclient sync. That is what pulls down boring_ssl (or, technically, it pulls down third_party\boringssl\src).

If that doesn't resolve the issue then let us know what commit you are synced to and what gn args you are using. And, it is much better to select the text in the command prompt and paste that - a screenshot is non-accessible and non-searchable.

Do you have third_party/boringssl/win-aarch64/crypto/fipsmodule/armv8-mont.S in your checkout?

[gz83]

I went to this directory to have a look, these files are in it, please see the screenshot below

And I found that the error should be caused by the files in this directory

[Bruce Dawson]

Thank you for confirming that you have run gclient sync.

For the commits the one that matters is the one in the Chromium directory - 83a7fcae85a46. I'm not sure what the other commits you list are, but the Chromium commit determines what commit the other repos are synchronized to - that's what gclient sync does - so that is the important one.

I notice that you have 59 gn args. That is a lot of customization. Where did you get those from? It is quite possible that you have created an impossible combination of arguments that isn't tested or supported, and is cumbersome for others to test.

I would start by building the Chrome target with no gn args. Then try setting target_cpu = "arm64", and then add more as needed. That may help you understand which gn args are causing the incompatibility.

I know that some builders use large numbers of gn args. Personally I usually use a half-dozen or so. I would be interested in knowing where you got that set from.

TL;DR - try building with simpler gn args, and maybe let us know why you have so many gn args.

[Bruce Dawson]

I tested with these two gn args:

    target_os = "win"

    target_cpu = "arm64"

I found that this build command succeeded:

    ninja -v -C out\aes_test obj/third_party/boringssl/boringssl_asm/aesv8-armx64.obj

However I am building on Windows which is simpler than cross-compiling. FWIW, the command to assemble that .S file (as printed by ninja -v) was:

I couldn't reproduce your particular error message and there are too many gn args for me to want to experiment much, but I think you should start there. Cross compiling does add a lot of complexity, and so does having 59 gn args, so I would try to reduce that complexity as much as possible.

Reminder: please don't send screen shots - it's difficult to accurately look for file names in them.

[gz83]

Thanks for your guidance, I will reduce the number of gn args for further compilation and testing.

[Nico Weber]

Since I haven't seen it mentioned above: Did you follow https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:docs/win_cross.md?q=win_cross.md ? (In particular, the ".gclient setup" -- if you haven't, re-run `gclient sync` after doing that step.)

[gz83]

I have already done these, I will try to reduce the number of gn args later to see if it can compile successfully.

[gz83]

I used the following two gn args to compile, and found that it still failed to compile

   target_os = "win"

   target_cpu = "arm64"

The next question would be whether you can build for a more common target_cpu such as target_cpu = "x64". While I'm sure Chromium should cross-compile from Linux for arm64 this is not something that is tested. In fact, building Chromium for arm64 on Windows is only moderately (patches-welcome?) supported, and cross-compiling is less supported than that. Note that Chrome does not ship in this variant.

That is, if "x64" builds and "arm64" does not then you may have found a bug, or missing steps in our instructions, and you may have to investigate how to fix it. I'm not aware of anybody else doing this.

FWIW, the FYI builder for arm64 on Windows is here: https://ci.chromium.org/p/chromium/builders/ci/win32-arm64-rel. Browsing that shows me that the build has been broken more often than not lately, even when compiling on Windows.

I can compile common target_cpu versions, such as target_cpu="x64", and I will try to cross compile with windows system later.

By the way, the file `boringssl_prefix_symbols_asm.h` is very interesting to me. It is referenced in some files, but I can't find it in the chromium code search. Do I need to use this file when compiling the arm64 version?

[Bruce Dawson]

It sounds like you are the first person to try cross compiling Chromium for ARM64 Windows. If you figure out how to make it work then patches are welcome.

It looks like that header file is only included if BORINGSSL_PREFIX is defined. My assumption is that some projects that use boringssl need a prefix and they then define that symbol and supply the file. I don't know what the file looks like - you're on your own there as well.

The reason he has so many args is that is what Thorium uses. Thorium is a chromium fork I make for windows, linux, macos, and raspi. >  https://thorium.rocks/  &  https://github.com/Alex313031/Thorium 

gz83 is a friend who helps me build the windows releases.

I have been using those args.gn successfully for all these platforms for months now. It only occurs on win on arm, and as per above seems to happen even when only the bare minimum is set i.e. target_cpu = "arm64"

[Bruce Dawson]

As I said:

> It sounds like you are the first person to try cross compiling Chromium for ARM64 Windows. If you figure out how to make it work then patches are welcome.

Chrome itself doesn't ship for ARM64 Windows. Cross-compiling adds another layer of unsupported. So, I'm not surprised that it doesn't work at this point.

In general the more gn args you have the more likely it is that you will be using untested combinations, and therefore the more likely it is that you will find bugs, and perhaps have to fix them.

After I installed the arm dependency package, the problem of boringssl has been solved, but now I have encountered a new problem. The specific error is as follows.

I just checked the Win32 ARM64 builder here:

https://ci.chromium.org/p/chromium/builders/ci/win32-arm64-rel

It shows that the build is indeed currently broken with that error, and has been for at least a couple of hundred builds (at least about eight days). You could try bisecting to find when the break occurred, or use other methods to track down the problem (looking at the history of related files) or you could wait for somebody to land a fix.

OK, thank you.
