According to the compilation steps provided by chromium, normal compilation and debugging can finally be performed.

Environment preparation

1. Install Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1.

2. Install Microsoft Windows SDK v6.1.

3. Start-> AllProgram-> Microsoft Windows SDK v6.1-> Visual Studio registration-> Windows SDK Configuration tool, and add the SDK to Visual Studio 2005.

4. Download depot_tools to download the updated source code.

Install depot_tools

1. Download depot_tools.zip.

2. Decompress depot_tools.zip.

3. add the decompressed directory to the path of the system environment variable, for example, C: \ bin \ depot_tools (my computer-> properties-> advanced-> environment variables-> system variables-> path, double-click the entry and add the corresponding directory to it, separated by semicolons ).

Obtain source code

1. Create a directory for storing Source Code. For example, c: \ chromiumtrunk. ensure that there is sufficient space (preferably 10 Gb or above, my last 5 GB ).

2. In the command line window, run the following command:

Cd c: \ chromiumtrunk

Gclient config http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/src

3. Download the initial code to download and update the source code.

Obtain the chromium source code of the latest version.

In the command line window, run the following command:

CD [your chromium source Directory] // enter the directory where the source code is stored

Gclient sync

At this point, SVN starts to automatically download the source code of the latest version to this directory. Ensure that the network is smooth. If it ends normally, the command line should display the updated version number.

Compile source code

1. Open Visual Studio 2005.

2. File-> open project/solution, and select SRC \ chrome. sln under the source code directory(Note: Google provides one Deployment Tool depot_tools for chrome, including downloading code, synchronizing code, and uploading code. This tool is written in Python and contains some JavaScript scripts. Depot_tools contains a gclient tool, which is the focus of attention .)

3. In the solution tree on the left, select the app entry, right-click chrome_exe, and set it to start the project.

4. Configure the compilation:

1. Right-click chrome_exe and select Properties.

2. In the left-side entry, choose configuration Properties> debug.

3. In the right-side entry, SET command parameters, for example, -- User-data-Dir = C: \ TMP \ debugprofile

4. Click OK to save.

5. Press F5 to generate the chrome_exe solution and enter the debugging mode.
