build 'gen' but to build 'gen' you must..., wtf is this cluster

Thanks for your help.

I have built it back when it still used gyp. I believe what you
need to do is
1. Install depot_tools:
http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/install-depot-tools
2. Use gclient from depot_tools to get skia:
https://skia.org/user/download
3. Use gclient to get gn and build skia:

They give you all the steps, but it's confusing if you haven't
done it before and don't read them carefully. Just follow their
exact instructions in those three pages and you should be set up.
