Hey Brad!

I just wanted to let you know that this is working great for me on
VC++ 2008 Express Edition. Thanks a lot!

I have updated my page to reflect your change. I also added a patch
that modifies some GYP files in such a way that you won’t have to
manually “play” with the project settings in order to compile without
errors (with this compiler that is).

 Ok that fix is in.
 You'd need to set GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2008e
 Let me know how that goes for you.

 I don't want to copy these instructions since it's too lengthy,
 inefficient and unsupported.

 I didn't realize one could download WDK 7 without needing a MSDN
 account. That's cool.

[chromium-dev] How to compile Google Chrome with Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition

2009-11-10 Thread Dominic Jodoin 
Hello,

I just wanted to share with you all that I've succeeded in compiling
Chrome using Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition and ATL 7.1 bundled with
the Windows Driver Kit (WDK).

I've wrote a blog post that gives the details of my recipe here:
http://cotsog.wordpress.com/2009/11/08/how-to-compile-google-chrome-with-visual-c-2008-express-edition/

It would be nice if some Chrome developers could review the steps and
see if it could be a valid setup to contribute to the project thus
lowering the entry bar to develop on Windows OS.

I also wonder if GYP could be made express edition aware? e.g. don't
include solution folders in that case.

Do not hesitate to make comments or suggestions.

Thanks!

-- Dominic.
