Linking Error building Cef from Source

[rubicscube]

Hi,
I'm working on a virtual machine, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64bit and i'm trying to build CEF/Chromium from source. I followed the instructions from https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/wiki/MasterBuildQuickStart and everything worked fine up to step 8. I'm trying to build a 32bit distribution on a 64bit system, so i looked at https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/wiki/AutomatedBuildSetup.md#markdown-header-linux-configuration for the correct Linux configuration.
There occur no errors until it starts with SOLINK ./libcef.so
So here is the output:

Code: Select all

ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

I already tried different builds (Debug and Release for x86 as well as for x64). I always got the same error. I read that a x86 build on a x64 host only works for release builds, so i continued with release builds. I also tried without -j4, didn't change the result.

If anybody knows this issue, it would be great if you can help me out.

Hi,
so i started a new try today. As i described before i'm following the instructions from https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/ ... inux-setup
I read that a --force-update flag could solve my problem (http://magpcss.org/ceforum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=15051), so i added this flag and --force-clean in my update.sh script. When i started the new build the following error occured:

As you can see i'm trying a 64 bit build, so i don't know if this is important.

So has anybody of you seen this error before? If somebody could help me out this would be great!
thanks.

UPDATE:
So i changed atk_state_set to state_set, as recommended by the compiler. I don't know what went wrong here, but now the 64 bit Release build is working.
I think the problem in the first place was the missing --force-update flag. Just wanted to let you know.
Best regards!

I can reproduce this error with 3163 branch. Filed as https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/issues/2256
