Hi all, Because I needed ToT builds of Chrome on multiple machines and because I like automation, I created a script that can automatically get you set up to build Chrome. The aim of this project is to require only one manual download to get set up. It is pretty much feature complete and I need some people to test this and comment on it. Here's what it does:
- check if your machine meets the requirements for building Chrome from source (VS2005 and Windows SDK installed) - download and unpack depot tools - download and unpack source tarball - sync Chromium source - build Debug/Release Google Chrome - clean the build environment and fix a number of issues. - detect known build errors and provide useful tips to solve them. (Basically everything on http://dev.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/getting-started, with a few added features.) I am looking for people that are willing to give it a try and give feedback. WARNING: This script is in development and may not function properly which could potentially cause damage to your system, which will be your problem (but I sure hope it does not). It's not officially supported in any way, so if you have a problem, I cannot guarantee you will receive help in fixing it. WARNING: The script downloads scripts and executables over HTTP connections and executes them. As with any such download, there is always a risk of an attacker modifying the executables in transit and taking over your system when they are executed. (Though I highly doubt it) Now that we have that out of the way, here's how to get started: 1) Download http://skypher.com/SkyLined/download/get_chromium/get_chromium.cmd 2) Run it. It will ask you a few questions about where you want your source installed and such and then automatically download and unpack everything. This includes downloading md5sum.exe and 7za.exe for checking downloads and unpacking them. If automatic downloading and/or unpacking fails, it should fall back to asking you to do it manually before it continues with the installation. Once everything is installed, it will sync source and build Debug Google Chrome. PS. It has a crude automatic update system that checks if there is a new version every time you run it. That way, you can benefit from bug fixes and updates. This is specifically helpful for the known build errors problem solving feature; when there is a known issue, I can update this and everybody that encounters it will be alerted to the potential fix.
