I follow the build instructions https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/wiki/MasterBuildQuickStart.md#markdown-header-windows-setup

but fail to link.

OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise + SP1

on the same machine, I succeeded in building version 2623 with GYP, and I have tried to clear out dir and rebuild but still fail.

who encountered the issue?

thanks.

Official builds take a lot of RAM. Does your machine have at least 8GB? Also, do you have enough free disk space?

[HarmlessDave]

I only got 2526 to build with the Official setting by having 8 GB RAM and 16 GB of swap space. 8 GB with the default swap file setting failed for me.

2924 probably requires more RAM than 2526, so you might want to upgrade to 12 GB - 16 GB or go into your swap file settings to force them to something higher like 12 GB.

still has 53G free space while running across such link error.

plus, I have built successfully before with the same version on the same machine, the only different is GN_DEFINES, that is, I can build successfully with:

Code: Select all

set GN_DEFINES=is_win_fastlink=true

[tiplip]

I have resolved the issue by changing the GN_DEFINES to:

Code: Select all

set GN_DEFINES=proprietary_codecs=true ffmpeg_branding=Chrome

that is, I removed 'is_official_build=true' after rebooting my machine.

Official takes more RAM for the optimizations than non-official. Like we said

Or are you saying your PC has 64 GB of RAM (not disk space)?

thanks for your clarification, I misunderstand space here, I mean my disk space
