WIP: Migrate Wiki content over to src/docs

docs/chromoting_build_instructions.md

+# Introduction
+
+Chromoting, also known as [Chrome Remote Desktop](https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/1649523), allows one to remotely control a distant machine, all from within the Chromium browser.  Its source code is located in the `remoting/` folder in the Chromium codebase.  For the sake of brevity, we'll assume that you already have a pre-built copy of Chromium (or Chrome) installed on your development computer.
+
+# Obtain API keys
+
+Before you can compile the code, you must obtain an API key to allow it to access the federated Chromoting API.
+
+  1. Join the chromium-dev list, which can be found at https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!forum/chromium-dev.  (This step is required in order to gain access to the Chromoting API.)
+  1. Visit the Google APIs console at https://code.google.com/apis/console.
+    1. Use the `API Project` dropdown to create a new project with a name of your choice.
+    1. On the `Services` page, click the button to activate the `Chrome Remote Desktop API`, and accept the license agreements that appear.
+    1. On the `API Access` page, select the option to create an `OAuth2 client ID`, and supply a product name of your choice.
+    1. Choose the `Web application` type, then click more options.
+    1. Replace the contents of `Authorized Redirect URLs` with: `https://chromoting-oauth.talkgadget.google.com/talkgadget/oauth/chrome-remote-desktop/dev`
+    1. Clear the `Authorized JavaScript Origins` field and click the button to finish creating the client ID.
+  1. Create a file `~/.gyp/include.gypi` according to the following format:
+
+```
+{
+  'variables': {
+    'google_api_key': '<API key, listed under Simple API Access in the console>',
+    'google_default_client_id': '<Client ID, listed under Client ID for web applications>',
+    'google_default_client_secret': '<Client secret, listed under Client ID for web applications>',
+  },
+}
+```
+
+(NB: Replace the text in angled braces according the the instructions between them.)
+
+# Obtain Chromium code
+
+If you've already checked out a copy of the browser's codebase, you can skip this section, although you'll still need to run `gclient runhooks` to ensure you build using the API keys you just generated.
+
+  1. Install the build dependencies, which are listed at http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/LinuxBuildInstructionsPrerequisites.
+  1. Install the depot\_tools utilities, a process that is documented at http://dev.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/install-depot-tools.
+  1. Download the Chromium source code by running: `$ fetch chromium --nosvn=True`
+
+# Build and install the Linux host service
+
+If you want to remote into a (Debian-based) GNU/Linux host, follow these steps to compile and install the host service on that system.  As of the time of writing, you must compile from source because no official binary package is being distributed.
+
+  1. Start in the `src/` directory that contains your checkout of the Chromium code.
+  1. Build the Chromoting host binaries: `$ ninja -C out/Release remoting_me2me_host remoting_start_host remoting_native_messaging_host remoting_native_messaging_manifests`
+  1. When the build finishes, move into the installer directory: `$ cd remoting/host/installer/`
+  1. Generate a DEB package for your system's package manager: `$ linux/build-deb.sh`
+  1. Install the package on your system: `$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb`
+  1. The next time you use the Chromoting extension from your browser, it should detect the presence of the host service and offer you the option to `Enable remote connections`.
+    1. If the Web app doesn't properly detect the host process, you may need to create a symlink to help the plugin find the native messaging host: `$ sudo ln -s /etc/opt/chrome /etc/chromium`
+
+(NB: If you compile the host service from source and expect to configure it using the browser extension, you must also compile the latter from source.  Otherwise, the package signing keys will not match and the Web app's OAuth2 token will not be valid within the host process.)
+
+# Build and install the browser extension
+
+The Web app is the Chromoting system's main user interface, and allows you to connect to existing hosts as well as set up the host process on the machine you're currently sitting at.  Once built, it must be installed into your browser as an extension.
+
+  1. Start in the `src/` directory that contains your checkout of the Chromium code.
+  1. Build the browser extension: `$ GOOGLE_API_KEY=<API key> GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID_REMOTING=<client ID> GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET_REMOTING=<client secret> ninja -C out/Release remoting_webapp` (Be sure to replace the substitutions denoted by angled braces.)
+  1. Install the extension into your Chromium (or Chrome) browser:
+    1. Visit the settings page [chrome://extensions].
+    1. If it is unchecked, tick the `Developer mode` box.
+    1. Click `Load unpacked extension...`, then navigate to `out/Release/remoting/remoting.webapp/` within your code checkout.
+    1. Confirm the installation, open a new tab, and click the new app's Chromoting icon.
+    1. Complete the account authorization step, signing into your Google account if you weren't already.
+
+# Build and install the Android client
+
+If you want to use your Android device to connect to your Chromoting hosts, follow these steps to install the client app on it.  Note that this is in the very early stages of development.  At the time of writing, you must compile from source because no official version is being distributed.
+
+  1. Follow all the instructions under the `Getting the code` and `Install prerequisites` sections of: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/AndroidBuildInstructions
+  1. Move into the `src/` directory that contains your checkout of the Chromium code.
+  1. Build the Android app: `$ ninja -C out/Release remoting_apk`
+  1. Connect your device and set up USB debugging:
+    1. Plug your device in via USB.
+    1. Open the Settings app and look for the `Developer options` choice.
+      1. If there is no such entry, open `About phone`, tap `Build number` 7 times, and look again.
+    1. Under `Developer options`, toggle the main switch to `ON` and enable `USB debugging`.
+  1. On your machine and still in the `src/` directory, run: `$ build/android/adb_install_apk.py --apk=out/Release/apks/Chromoting.apk`
+  1. If your Android device prompts you to accept the host's key, do so.
+  1. The app should now be listed as Chromoting in your app drawer.
+
