Fwd: [chromium-dev] PSA: Debug builds are now component builds by default

[Henrik Kjellander]

FYI, since this default for Debug builds is different when we were using GYP.

To get a static build for Debug, you'll have to pass is_component_build=false to --args.

I'll update our build instructions on webrtc.org to make this more clear.

Hi all,

Following up on last week's thread [1], I have landed a change [2] that makes debug builds component (shared) builds by default

(except on iOS, where component builds are not supported). Release builds will remain as static builds by default, at least for now.

So, unless you explicitly set is_debug=false, target_os="ios", or is_component_build=false in your args.gn file, you'll get a

component build.

This will affect any new invocation of `gn gen`, and also change any existing build checkout where one of those flags was not

set.

Cheers,

-- Dirk
