Hey Michael, In gathering information to reply with I was able to figure out the problem. It was looking for Python with cmd.exe saying 'bash: python command not found'
So I installed python 2.7 and added it to my path and everything compiled correctly. That means, 1. The documentation for Windows/Visual Studio is out of date. ( just need to run gclient sync in the folder now, and reference gypfiles/all.sln instead of build/all.sln ) 2. The all.sln is not using the local gclient version of python (depot_tools\python276_bin) and instead hoping the system has it. Thank you for getting back to me!
