I recently downloaded source code for Google Chrome and it took me
several days to compile it. I used these instructions:
http://dev.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/build-instructions-windows.
I would like to suggest a minor improvement.
I experienced problems with SDK Visual Studio registration (it
crashed). As instructed, I ran "windowssdkver -version:v6.1 -legacy"
command in terminal and it seemed to run okay. I also read
troubleshooting part, but my mistake was not listed there. Finally, I
found out that SDK still was not registered with Visual Studio and
that became a source of problems. I found this out in one of the error
messages during compilation. It explicitly said that SDK cannot be
found. I followed instructions in the end of the page (manual
registration) and that solved all of the problems.
So my suggestion is to add a notice to alternative instruction of SDK
registration as following:
If this program crashes, try running it from the command line
with: windowssdkver -version:v6.1 -legacy
If build fails, try registering SDK manually. See instructions
in the bottom of the page (troubleshooting section).
Basically the problem was that my problem didn't fit description of
the troubleshooting part and as a result I did not execute step in
order to resolve an issue. Thanks.
