Ninja fails on buliding.

[cazorla]

I am using vs2015 u3. This is the log generated. What could be the reason behind this.

What CEF branch are you building? Did you install the build requirements specified at https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/ ... uilding.md ?

[cazorla]

Branch 3202. I have visual studio 2015 update 3 and windows kit 10. I have set the required environment variables as well.

[magreenblatt]

Did you install Visual Studio and SDK to the default locations?

[cazorla]

Yes. I have installed them at default locations. Do I need to download/install ninja explicitly? because ninja.exe is available as a part of depot tools. What could be the reason for this build error?
I have set these environment variables GYP_GENERATORS=ninja,msvs-ninja and GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2015. Windows SDK version is 10.1.16299.91 and I am using vs2015 enterprise edition.

[magreenblatt]

Looks like something wrong with your local setup because it's not finding the Windows header files. What are the contents of your out\Debug_GN_x86\environment.x86 file? Are you building using cmd.exe?

[cazorla]

I uninstalled the windows kit 10.1 and reinstalled the windows kit mectioned in the wiki page. Now cef build continued and got an error here

It took almost 5.5 hours to come to this stage.

[cazorla]

Is there any way to continue the build from this point.. rather than building it from the beginning.

[magreenblatt]

You will probably need to set GN_DEFINES=is_win_fastlink=true and then re-run automate-git.py for the build to succeed. You can also run the following manually:

Code: Select all

cd c:\path\to\chromium\src\cef
set GN_DEFINES=is_win_fastlink=true
set GN_ARGUMENTS=--ide=vs2015 --sln=cef --filters=//cef/*
cef_create_projects.bat

cd ..
ninja -C out\Debug_GN_x64 cef


[cazorla]

I tried the manual method and got this

C:\cefbranch\cef>set GN_DEFINES=is_win_fastlink=true

C:\cefbranch\cef>set GN_ARGUMENTS=--ide=vs2015 --sln=cef --filters=//cef/*

C:\cefbranch\cef>cef_create_projects.bat
