Re: [chromium-dev] How to compile Google Chrome with Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition
It is probably that. I have not tried yet, but I will this afternoon. It must have been an obvious thing to do, but I am not dealing with Visual Studio almost at all and I am totally new to this, so, thank you for pointing that out. :) ☆PhistucK On Sat, Nov 21, 2009 at 17:12, Dominic Jodoin dominic.jod...@gmail.comwrote: Ok.

Looking at the actual patch, I see there is (an apparent) support for 2005e, as well. Sorry and thank you. ☆PhistucK On Fri, Nov 13, 2009 at 02:51, Bradley Nelson bradnel...@google.com wrote: Ok that fix is in.

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

Possibly. But what I meant was that if the steps were to be approved, I thought they could be included on http://dev.chromium.org. I imagine that would depend on whether any of these instructions appear to violate any license agreements, copyrights, etc. I have no idea whether they do.

Re: [chromium-dev] How to compile Google Chrome with Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition
Enabling contribution to Chrome on Windows without having to purchase any software is very welcome, good job :) I looked at the steps, and as I'm sure you're thinking, if these can be incorporated into the gyp sln generation that would be ideal.

Offhand it looks reasonable. I also wonder if GYP could be made express edition aware? e.g. don't include solution folders in that case. IIRC the plan was to slowly get rid of our use of ATL, then think about being express-edition-aware... so yeah, that sounds like something we'd like to do.

Re: [chromium-dev] How to compile Google Chrome with Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition
This sounds great. I didn't know express chokes on folders. I'll investigate tomorrow and look into offering an option/autodetecting for gyp to emit a flat sln. -BradN On Tue, Nov 10, 2009 at 8:19 PM, Dan Kegel d...@kegel.com wrote: On Mon, Nov 9, 2009 at 6:21 PM, Dominic Jodoin dominic.jod...@gmail.com wrote: 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).
