Ninja: No Work to Do

[Chase Willden]

I'm trying to build nwjs with Ninja on my Linux machine, and it won't get past the "Ninja: No Work to Do" message even though nothing has been built yet. Does any body have any suggestions?

Did you run `gclient runhooks` before ninja build?

Yes I ran "gclient runhooks" and the "./build/gyp_chromium content/content.gyp" and I even redownloaded the code with gclient and I still have the Ninja: No work to do. This is a tricky one.

Did you changed your time? If you changed it to some time earlier before your last build, the compiler will think the source was older than the generated objects.

Good suggestion, just tried that but same issue. I even whipped up a new VM to build nw, used gclient sync and all the other build instructions, runhooks works great, but ninja still gives me that message... I'm stumped on this one.

'content.gyp' is for nw12. In nw13 just use './build/gyp_chromium'.
The wiki need to be updated. And please refer to the buildbot log for
the flags and environment variables used for gclient and gyp.

That solved the issue! I'll refer to that. Thanks.
