Problems compiling breakpad on windows

[Adrian Jäkel]

Hi all,

i'm trying to use the depot_tools to build breakpad on windows but i'm failing even fetching it.

I follow instructions from:

* https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chrome-infra-docs/flat/depot_tools/docs/html/depot_tools_tutorial.html#_setting_up

* https://chromium.googlesource.com/breakpad/breakpad

* i downloaded and extracted the bundle

* i put depot_tools folder in front of my path

* i run gclient without any arguements once

When i check "where python" through cmd as suggested in the instructions nothing is found. But i can see theres a python3.bat in the folder. It also runs when executing it manually.

Now to the breakpad part:

I create a folder for breakpad and call "fetch breakpad". This is the output and error i'm getting:

c:\Builds\breakpad>fetch breakpad

How can i proceed? I'm curently kind of lost as what to do. If you need more info from me feel free to ask!
