Note: gclient sync --force with two dashes. vcbuild is not supported, I don't recall the exact failure. But you can still build at the command line:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\devenv.com" C:\path_to_trunk\src\chrome\chrome.sln /Build Release We use a command similar to that and it works fine. Also, to save time from the IDE, right-click on the Apps solution folder and select Build from there, the tests won't be built, which saves a fair amount of time. For gclient issues, you can report them there: http://code.google.com/p/gclient/issues/list In fact, it should do something on failed svn checkout. 2008/9/26 HLS <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Sounds like what I went through.
