-# Ninja Build |
- |
-Ninja is a build system written with the specific goal of improving the |
-edit-compile cycle time. It is used by default everywhere except when building |
-for iOS. |
- |
-Ninja behaves very similar to Make -- the major feature is that it starts |
-building files nearly instantly. (It has a number of minor user interface |
-improvements to make as well.) |
- |
-Read more about Ninja at [the Ninja home page](https://ninja-build.org/). |
- |
-## Using it |
- |
-### Configure your system to use Ninja |
- |
-#### Install |
- |
-Ninja is included in `depot_tools` so there's nothing to install. |
- |
-## Build instructions |
- |
-To build Chrome: |
- |
- cd /path/to/chrome/src |
- ninja -C out/Debug chrome |
- |
-Specify `out/Release` for a release build. I recommend setting up an alias so |
-that you don't need to type out that build directory path. |
- |
-If you want to build all targets, use `ninja -C out/Debug all`. It's faster to |
-build only the target you're working on, like `chrome` or `unit_tests`. |
- |
-## Android |
- |
-Identical to Linux, just make sure `OS=android` is in your `GYP_DEFINES`. You |
-want to build one of the apk targets, e.g. `content_shell_apk`. |
- |
-## Windows |
- |
-Similar to Linux. It uses MSVS's `cl.exe`, `link.exe`, etc. so you still need to |
-have VS installed. To use it, open `cmd.exe`, go to your chrome checkout, and |
-run: |
- |
- set GYP_DEFINES=component=shared_library |
- python build\gyp_chromium |
- ninja -C out\Debug chrome.exe |
- |
-`component=shared_library` is optional but recommended for faster links. |
- |
-You can also set `GYP_GENERATORS=ninja,msvs-ninja` to get both VS projects |
-generated if you want to use VS just to browse/edit (but then gyp takes twice as |
-long to run). |
- |
-If you're using Express or the Windows SDK by itself (rather than using a Visual |
-Studio install), you'll need to run from a vcvarsall command prompt. |
- |
-### Debugging |
- |
-Miss VS for debugging? |
- |
-``` |
-devenv.com /debugexe chrome.exe --my-great-args "go here" --single-process etc |
-``` |
- |
-Miss Xcode for debugging? Read |
-http://dev.chromium.org/developers/debugging-on-os-x/building-with-ninja-debugging-with-xcode |
- |
-### Without Visual Studio |
- |
-That is, building with just the WinDDK. This is documented in the |
-[regular build instructions](http://dev.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/build-instructions-windows#TOC-Setting-up-the-environment-for-building-with-Visual-C-2010-Express-or-Windows-7.1-SDK). |
- |
-## Tweaks |
- |
-### Building through errors |
- |
-Pass a flag like `-k3` to make Ninja build until it hits three errors instead of |
-stopping at the first. |
- |
-### Parallelism |
- |
-Pass a flag like `-j8` to use 8 parallel processes, or `-j1` to compile just one |
-at a time (helpful if you're getting weird compiler errors). By default Ninja |
-tries to use all your processors. |
- |
-### More options |
- |
-There are more options. Run `ninja --help` to see them all. |
- |
-### Custom build configs |
- |
-You can write a specific build config to a specific output directory via the |
-`-G` flags to gyp. Here's an example from jamesr: |
-`build/gyp_chromium -Gconfig=Release -Goutput_dir=out_profiling -Dprofiling=1 |
--Dlinux_fpic=0` |
- |
-## Bugs |
- |
-If you encounter any problems, please file a bug at http://crbug.com/new with |
-label `ninja` and cc `thakis@` or `scottmg@`. Assume that it is a bug in Ninja |
-before you bother anyone about e.g. link problems. |
