Building Chromium x64 with Visual Studio 2015 Update 3

Requirements:

- Windows x64
- 8GB RAM or more
- free space ~30GB (sources ~20GB, each build (release/debug x32/x64) ~10GB)
- MS Visual Studio 2015 with Update 3 (custom install, check "Visual C++" and "Win10 SDK")

Download https://storage.googleapis.com/chrome-infra/depot_tools.zip and extract it (i.e. D:\depot_tools)

you can build with API keys or without:
  1. without keys you must alter GYP_DEFINES to:
    • google_api_key='no' google_default_client_id='no' google_default_client_secret='no'
  2. with your API keys set:
  3. with google API keys set use_official_google_api_keys=1 and remove parameters above
    • IMPORTANT: you need google API keys in D:\depot_tools\src\google_apis\internal\google_chrome_api_keys.h
let's try to build the chromium without a google services:
  • run CMD.exe
cd /D D:\depot_tools
set PATH=D:\depot_tools;%PATH%
set DEPOT_TOOLS_WIN_TOOLCHAIN=0
set GYP_DEFINES=target_arch=x64 proprietary_codecs=1 fastbuild=2 remove_webcore_debug_symbols=1 ffmpeg_branding=Chrome google_api_key='no' google_default_client_id='no' google_default_client_secret='no'
set GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2015
gclient
fetch --nohooks chromium --nosvn=True
- *it will be downloaded ~20GB*

cd /D D:\depot_tools\src
git checkout lkgr
git pull
gclient sync --with_branch_heads -f -R
ninja -C out/Release_x64 mini_installer.exe

now we have two files:

- D:\depot_tools\src\out\Release_x64\mini_installer.exe
- D:\depot_tools\src\out\Release_x64\chrome.7z

update the sources and make the new build:

  • run CMD.exe
cd /D D:\depot_tools\src
set PATH=D:\depot_tools;%PATH%
set DEPOT_TOOLS_WIN_TOOLCHAIN=0
set GYP_DEFINES=target_arch=x64 proprietary_codecs=1 fastbuild=2 remove_webcore_debug_symbols=1 ffmpeg_branding=Chrome google_api_key='no' google_default_client_id='no' google_default_client_secret='no'
set GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2015
git checkout lkgr
git pull
gclient sync --with_branch_heads -f -R
ninja -C out/Release_x64 mini_installer.exe

we've got two updated files:

- D:\depot_tools\src\out\Release_x64\mini_installer.exe
- D:\depot_tools\src\out\Release_x64\chrome.7z

Done!
