Unable to build CEF/Chromium on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit

[mezz]

Hi,

I have gone through the instructions detailed at:
https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/ ... ckStart.md

The platform is Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit, which is the supposedly working one.
I have tried to build both Chromium master branch as well as Chromium stable branch 3325, Chromium 65, as mentioned here:
https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/ ... uilding.md

For both build on a clean machine I get linking errors:

ninja: Entering directory `out/Debug_GN_x64'

I have uploaded the error log, do you have any tips on how to fix this please?

Thanks

What GN_DEFINES are you using? The ControllerMesh error suggests that you're using enable_vr=true which is not supported.

For the "undefined symbol: crashpad::Annotation::kValueMaxSize" error try applying the following patch to cef/BUILD.gn and re-running the cef_create_projects.sh script:

Code: Select all

diff --git BUILD.gn BUILD.gn

Hi,

thank you that helped me nearly get to the end of the compilation, I get a gtk include error though now: 'gtk/gtk.h' file not found

Do you have a tip for this please?

You must install required libraries, see comments here:

Hi,

thanks for the tip, I managed to compile it, I was using use_sysroot=true in GN_DEFINES as mentioned here:

http://magpcss.org/ceforum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=15054

In the end I used to build branch 3325:

- in my update.sh file:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
export CEF_USE_GN=1
export GN_DEFINES="is_official_build=true use_sysroot=true use_allocator=none symbol_level=1 enable_vr=false"
python ../automate/automate-git.py --download-dir=/home/ubuntu/code/chromium_git --depot-tools-dir=/home/ubuntu/code/depot_tools --no-distrib --no-build --branch=3325


-in my create.sh file:

Code: Select all

export GN_DEFINES="is_official_build=true enable_vr=false"
export CEF_USE_GN=1
./cef_create_projects.sh


[bruth]

For the "undefined symbol: crashpad::Annotation::kValueMaxSize" error try applying the following patch to cef/BUILD.gn and re-running the cef_create_projects.sh script:

Can this be checked in to the source tree? I just had this same error on the debug build and this fixed it.

Thanks!
