Hello, i was following chromium build instructions https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/windows_build_instructions.md , because i wanted to edit source code to remove some very big mistakes made by other developers and build my own version of chromium. I'm using windows 10. Now, i have fetched chromium source code using "fetch chromium" and "gclient sync", but when i try to build the browser using command "ninja -C out/mybuild chrome", i get error:

"ninja: error: '../../../chrome/browser/internal/transform_additional_modules_list.py', needed by 'obj/chrome/browser/chrome_internal_resources_gen.inputdeps.stamp', missing and no known rule to make it".

I looked at the source code in my computer, and there is whole folder "chrome/browser/internal" missing, i tried browsing chromium source online, but it appears this folder is missing in there as well. What is happening in here ? How can there be missing source code ?

It looks like you are trying to build with branding=Chrome. You can't do that from open source code.
