How to build breakpad for windows

[diehard2]

Hello, I'm trying to find out how to build breakpad for Visual Studio
2008. I see that there is a sln file for the client, but that this
depends upon a library that seems to be built with something called
gyp. That's as far as I've gotten as I can't seem to find any
documentation. The details of my travails are here
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2925094/how-to-build-google-breakpad.
I would really appreciate any help. Thanks.

Hi,

add this paths to your project's compiler include path:

google-breakpad/src
google-breakpad/src/client/windows

and this files to your sources:

google-breakpad/src/common/windows/guid_string.cc
google-breakpad/src/client/windows/handler/exception_handler.cc
google-breakpad/src/client/windows/crash_generation/client_info.cc
google-breakpad/src/client/windows/crash_generation/crash_generation_client.cc
google-breakpad/src/client/windows/crash_generation/crash_generation_server.cc
google-breakpad/src/client/windows/crash_generation/minidump_generator.cc

This is how I use breakpad in my project on Windows and it works. You don't
need to use GYP.

Hi there,

It's my understanding (although I haven't actually tried it), that
checking out the code using "gclient"[1] instead of using svn directly
will take care of running gyp for you.

hey,

This is true, but you don't have to use gclient either. Just run the gyp executable in src/tools/gyp with the breakpad.gyp path as an argument. Or check the DEPS file to see what exactly gclient is running.

This question has been answered in the stackoverflow thread.
