[chromium-discuss] Chromium Build

[l***@gmail.com]

Can someone help me install chromium ? I've been trying for the past week
without success.
Windows 10 user
when running the following command "gn gen out/Name-Folder" in the
chromium/src directory, i encounter the following error "
gn wasn't recognized as a command"
and if i run the where python in a new cmd shell it doesn't work but if i
run it inside the depot_tools directory it prints out a file.bat as
supposed.

[PhistucK]

It will not install Chromium, it will only build it.
Does your environmental variable (PATH) include the depot_tools folder path?

Please, outline all of the steps that you took from the beginning
(including downloading/cloning depot_tools) until you got to the gn error.

Okay these are all the steps i've already done, i've created 2 directories:
The first one is the depot_tools directory where i have extraced the zip
file, which i've downloaded.
Then i opened "as suggested" a new command prompt and i ran inside it the
following command "where python" which it didn't work, giving me a error
saying the format wasn't correct, but then i ran the command inside the
depot_tools directory and it printed out a path ending with a bat file.
I've ran the " gclient " command in a new command prompt and it still
didn't work, but running it inside the depot_tools directory, it seems to
work.
The second one is the chromium folder, which i've created running the fetch
command, but i had one issue, which was that i had to specify from the
command prompt, that it should execute the command from the depot_tools
into the chromium directory, i think this was the first sign something
isn't working properly.
Btw i think i've added properly the name to the system variable PATH.
Now im stuck running the new command gn gen out/Name-folder it does say the
following error:
gn isn't recognized as a command internal or external or as a executable
file / batch.
I'm still stuck at this point unable to complete the build. (I've tried to
install ninja but it seems not to work).

If you can't run all the commands from depot_tools without being in the
depot_tools directory then you haven't added it to your PATH correctly. Fix
your PATH such that running fetch, gclient, gn, etc works from any
directory, and then you'll be fine.

This is how my PATH is constructed, btw inside PATH i saw that python
appeard twice so i added it to both like this:
C:\src\depot_tools;C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\ProgramsPython\Python36-32\
Scripts\
C:\src\depot_tools;C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\

run "echo %PATH%' from your command prompt to check what it's actually set
to. You need to log in again, or reboot, after changing it in windows
before it has any effect, so if you just set the PATH it won't be working
yet.

You're using c:\src\depot_tools - did you check out depot_tools inside your
chromium checkout? If so, that's not how it's intended to work - you are
expected to put depot_tools somewhere else, since you are supposed to have
depot_tools first so that you can run "fetch".

I don't know what zip file you're referring to downloading, but that's not
the usual way to get depot_tools; you are expected to check it out using
git.

This is how my PATH is constructed, btw inside PATH i saw that python
C:\src\depot_tools;C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\ProgramsPython\Python36-32\Scripts\
C:\src\depot_tools;C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\

If you can't run all the commands from depot_tools without being in
the depot_tools directory then you haven't added it to your PATH correctly.
Fix your PATH such that running fetch, gclient, gn, etc works from any
directory, and then you'll be fine.

Post by dan Med
The first one is the depot_tools directory where i have extraced
the zip file, which i've downloaded.
Then i opened "as suggested" a new command prompt and i ran inside
it the following command "where python" which it didn't work, giving me a
error saying the format wasn't correct, but then i ran the command inside
the depot_tools directory and it printed out a path ending with a bat file.
I've ran the " gclient " command in a new command prompt and it
still didn't work, but running it inside the depot_tools directory, it
seems to work.
The second one is the chromium folder, which i've created running
the fetch command, but i had one issue, which was that i had to specify
from the command prompt, that it should execute the command from the
depot_tools into the chromium directory, i think this was the first sign
something isn't working properly.
Btw i think i've added properly the name to the system variable PATH.
Now im stuck running the new command gn gen out/Name-folder it does
gn isn't recognized as a command internal or external or as a
executable file / batch.
I'm still stuck at this point unable to complete the build. (I've
tried to install ninja but it seems not to work).

Please, outline all of the steps that you took from the beginning
(including downloading/cloning depot_tools) until you got to the gn error.

It will not install Chromium, it will only build it.
Does your environmental variable (PATH) include the depot_tools
folder path?

Can someone help me install chromium ? I've been trying for the
past week without success.
Windows 10 user
when running the following command "gn gen out/Name-Folder" in
the chromium/src directory, i encounter the following error "
gn wasn't recognized as a command"
and if i run the where python in a new cmd shell it doesn't work
but if i run it inside the depot_tools directory it prints out a file.bat
as supposed.

I think Torne is seeing the "src" in your path to thedepot tools and
thinking it might be the same src directory created by the fetch command.
Not a possibility because that src directory doesn't exist at the time you
unpacked the depot tools.

Post by dan Med
Actually I don’t understand what you meant, I’ve followed exactly what the
guide said and I got past the Fetch command

Post by Torne (Richard Coles)
You're using c:\src\depot_tools - did you check out depot_tools inside
your chromium checkout? If so, that's not how it's intended to work - you
are expected to put depot_tools somewhere else, since you are supposed to
have depot_tools first so that you can run "fetch".
I don't know what zip file you're referring to downloading, but that's
not the usual way to get depot_tools; you are expected to check it out
using git.

Torne -
On Windows, the build instructions explicitly instructs to use a ZIP
package of depot_tools rather than using Git -
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/windows_build_instructions.md#Install

And... It also mentions c:\src\depot_tools as a path example (a bit
confusing, indeed). :)
