Building chromium on Windows

[endaman]

Hi,

On Windows I have synced to Chromium build version 12.0.700.0 and I
want to build it on Windows.

The building documentation tells me to open chrome/chrome.sln but
no .sln files exist in my download of chromium.

How can I get these?

Thanks,
EM

Try running -

gclient runhooks

It should generate the SLN/VCPROJ/other files.

When I run runhooks I get this problem.

/////
C:\code\googlecode\chromium>gclient runhooks

________ running 'C:\code\googlecode\depot_tools\depot_tools
\depot_tools\python_
bin\python.exe src/build/gyp_chromium' in 'C:\code\googlecode
\chromium'
Traceback (most recent call last):

exe src/build/gyp_chromium in C:\code\googlecode\chromium returned 1

I even did a new gclient sync to the same version and still get this
problem.

PYTHONHOME == C:\code\googlecode\depot_tools\depot_tools\depot_tools
\python_bin
PYTHONPATH == C:\code\googlecode\depot_tools\depot_tools\depot_tools
\python_bin

Why do the depot_tools reside in such a weirdly structure path?

Try to move it into c:\code\googlecode\chromium (so it would be c:\code\googlecode\chromium\depot_tools\python_bin\python.exe) and run gclient sync --force within c:\code\googlecode\chromium (if it says "gclient not found" or something similar, run it within depot_tools of that same path).

Hopefully that will solve it...

Thank you kindly,
that worked a treat.

Do you have an src folder under C:\code\googlecode\chromium? If yes, then I think you should run gclient runhooks from within that folder.

Hi,

I am adding this question to this post as it may be related to my
earlier steps.

When I build chrome using Visual Studio I get this error.
.\installer\util\browser_distribution.cc(28) : fatal error C1083:
Cannot open include file: 'installer_util_strings.h': No such file or
directory

I can not find this file or its the installer_util_strings project
anywhere on my machine.

Any ideas on this?
Thanks,
EM
