12 This directory is provided in the source tree to follow above guidelines. | |
13 It is a compromise solution which takes into account Chromium developers | |
14 who want to avoid the perceived burden of more conditional code in gyp, | |
15 and expectations of Open Source community, where using system-provided | |
16 libraries is the norm. | |
17 | |
18 Usage: | |
19 | |
20 1. remove_bundled_libraries.py <preserved-directories> | |
21 | |
22 For example: remove_bundled_libraries.py third_party/mesa | |
23 | |
24 The script scans sources looking for third_party directories. | |
25 Everything that is not explicitly preserved is removed (except for | |
26 gyp files), and the script fails if any directory passed on command | |
27 line does not exist (to ensure list is kept up to date). | |
28 | |
29 This is intended to be used on sources extracted from a tarball, | |
30 not a repository. | |
31 | |
32 NOTE: by default this will not remove anything (for safety). Pass | |
33 --do-remove flag to actually remove files. | |
34 | |
35 2. replace_gyp_files.py <gyp-flags> | |
36 | |
37 For example: replace_gyp_files.py -Duse_system_harfbuzz=1 | |
38 | |
39 The script ignores flags other than -D for convenience. This makes it | |
40 possible to have a variable e.g. ${myconf} with all the options, and | |
41 execute: | |
42 | |
43 build/linux/unbundle/replace_gyp_files.py ${myconf} | |
44 build/gyp_chromium ${myconf} | |
