Ninja build error on branch 4044

[Comrade]

I'm trying to build the newest CEF branch (4044) by following the https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/wiki/MasterBuildQuickStart.md, but I am facing issues on step 8.

Im using:

Windows 10
Visual Studio Professional 2017 15.9.21
for windows SDK 10.0.18362
Ninja

update.bat:


Code: Select all

set CEF_USE_GN=1
set DEPOT_TOOLS_WIN_TOOLCHAIN=0
set GN_DEFINES=use_jumbo_build=true proprietary_codecs=true ffmpeg_branding="Chrome"
set GN_ARGUMENTS=--ide=vs2017 --sln=cef --filters=//cef/*

python ..\automate\automate-git.py --download-dir=%cd% --depot-tools-dir=%cd%\..\depot_tools --no-distrib --no-build --branch=4044




create.bat:


Code: Select all

set CEF_USE_GN=1
set GN_DEFINES=use_jumbo_build=true proprietary_codecs=true ffmpeg_branding="Chrome" is_component_build=true
# Use vs2017 or vs2019 as appropriate.
set GN_ARGUMENTS=--ide=vs2017 --sln=cef --filters=//cef/*
call cef_create_projects.bat


When I run "ninja -C out\Debug_GN_x86 cef" I get the following error

Code: Select all

ninja: Entering directory `out\Debug_GN_x86'

I looked in Debug_GN_x86/obj/chrome/chrome_elf/chrome_elf_resources/ and the directory seems to be empty

It would be great if someone could point me into the right direction because googling has produced no results.

Do you have multiple versions of python in your PATH?

[Comrade]

Python is not in my path, but I noticed src\build\toolchain\win\rc\win\rc.exe is missing, not sure if this is significant.

Yes, that would be a problem. Try running "gclient runhooks" from inside the "chromium\src" directory.

That did the job I was able to build both debug and release. Thank you
