在 Ubuntu 14.04 上編 stable chromium 43

參考資料

• Get the Code: Checkout, Build, Run & Submit - The Chromium Projects
• depot_tools_tutorial(7)
• Chromium Development Calendar and Release Info - The Chromium Projects

步驟

1. 從這裡找到最近的 stable version VERSION

2. 取得程式和安裝相依套件

$ git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git
$ export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/depot_tools
$ fetch --nohooks chromium
$ fetch --nohooks blink
$ cd src
$ ./build/install-build-deps.sh
$ git checkout VERSION  # 可和 git tag 對照一下
$ git show VERSION # 取得 commit 編號 COMMIT
$ (edit ../.gclient) # 設 "safesync_url" 為 COMMIT
$ gclient sync --with_branch_heads  # 沒有 --with_branch_heads 會出錯

3. 產生編譯所需的檔案和編譯

$ cd /path/to/chromium/src
$ gclient runhooks
$ ./build/gyp_chromium
$ ninja -C out/Debug chrome
