| 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} |
