Windows CEF compilation: depot_tools not found

[tomst]

Looks like automate-git.py doesn't work properly on Windows anymore because it tries to download https://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/tool ... _tools.zip, which doesn't exist. Did the file move to a different location or do we need to make sure that git works no Windows when compiling?

It moved to https://storage.googleapis.com/chrome-i ... _tools.zip. I'll update the script.

Thanks! automate-git.py still doesn't work though, it simply creates an empty directory called depot_tools. I had to manually download and extract depot_tools to make it work.

Code: Select all

C:\Users\tom\cef>C:\Python27\python.exe automate-git.py --download-dir=. --branch=2623 --no-distrib-archive --no-debug-build
--> Download Directory: C:\Users\tom\cef
--> Depot Tools Directory: C:\Users\tom\cef\depot_tools
--> Extracting https://storage.googleapis.com/chrome-infra/depot_tools.zip to C:\Users\tom\cef\depot_tools.
--> Updating depot_tools

FYI, this worked for me on 4-29 running on Windows 8.1 professional 64-bit:

Code: Select all

e:
mkdir cef-2526
cd cef-2526
python e:\cef-2526\automate-git.py --download-dir=e:\cef-2526 --branch=2526

The depot-tools subfolder has 12,019 files.
