Compile chromium, memo, and chromium in windows

Compile chromium in windows at: 20170619,

Official Address: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/windows_build_instructions.md

I. system requirements:

1. 64-bit machines with at least 8 GB of memory, more than 16 GB is recommended. (I use a Win10 64-bit Virtual Machine with 8 GB memory );

2. At least GB of hard disk space, in the NTFS format. FAT32 does not support files larger than 4 GB, but may have 20 GB + files downloaded from git;

3. Visual studio 2015 update 3;

4. Win7 + (I used Win10 for compilation. This may be a pitfall, which is described below );

Ii. System Configuration:

1. install Visual studio 2015 update3 and install window sdk 14393. Three options for Visual C ++ to be installed in vs include MFC, Universal Windows Apps Development Tools> Tools (1.4.1) and Windows 10 SDK (10.0.14393 );

2. Debugging Tools For Windows must be installed in SDK 14393. I didn't know why I didn't install it when I started installing the SDK. It was only available after I fixed it;

3. Install depot_tools:

1. Download depot_tools bundle and decompress it at https://storage.googleapis.com/chrome-infra/depot_tools.zip;

2. put depot_tools at the beginning of the PATH environment variable, at least in front of your installed python and git, because depot_tools will download python, if it is behind your installed python, unexpected problems may occur;

3. Add the environment variable DEPOT_TOOLS_WIN_TOOLCHAIN and set it to 0;

4. Open cmd.exe to run gclient. During the first running, gclient will install python, msysgit, and other necessary components;

4. Obtain the source code:

1. Open cmd, create the chromium folder and enter the directory where you want to place the source code. mkdir chromium & cd chromium;

2. fetch chromium;

Ps: there is a problem here. The default windows defender in Win10 is enabled. After the source code is downloaded, it will appear:

This problem is mainly caused by soft interception to delete the file directory failed, disable WinDefender is good, other soft may have similar circumstances, please note, refer to the https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail? Id = 464132)

3. After the source code is successfully downloaded, run cd src to enter the src directory;

5. Compile (the most anticipated time is up ):

1. Use the Default compiling method first. Using gn gen out/Default, the out/Default directory will be created under the src directory and some files required for compilation will be configured;

2. Compile chrome using ninja-C out \ Default chrome command line. It takes a long time;

Ps: when using ninja for compilation, I see

Ninja: Entering directory 'out/default'
Ninja: error :'.. /.. /native_client/toolchain/mac_x86/pnacl_newlib/bin/x86_64-nacl-objcopy ', needed by 'irt _ x64/obj/ppapi/native_client/done', missing and no known rule to make it

This kind of error, in the src directory using cmd to execute gclient sync, smooth solution, refer to the https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum! Topic/chromium-dev/tQGuR7Ur0i8;

3. Compile and run chrome.exe under ultult.
