How To Compile Chromium For Windows

Install VS2010 SP1.
Install the Windows 7.1 SDK.
Generate the .sln/.vcxproj, by using
set/export GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2010 (or create new Windows environment variable)
Note: 2010e for express versions.
gclient runhooks
You may want to double-check that VisualStudio 2010 is using the right SDK by renaming Include and Lib in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A when trying to build. If your compile fails after this (likely complaining of missing includes)

@TDmillerproduction As I said in the video it is several hours of work. I couldn't "show" how to do it in any reasonable amount of time, and if I showed you it would not be a learning experience. This is an exercise in working with VS, GIT, and DeployTools the whole point is to fight through it and understand what an enterprise application is like.

Yo brandon, off the topic but i need your advice.I want to upgrade my desktop to windows 7 but the problem is it only has a CD drive not a DVD drive so i was wondering if i bought a external DVD drive and tried to upgrade it with that would it work or would it crap out on me when windows 7 dose a clean install on my desktop and wipes all the drives off of it. Or Could i download windows 7 and put it in a usb drive and upgrade trough that?Please get back too me

@kaneMANonFIRE I would consider doing the Windows 8 USB install method. DVD drives that present as CD USB Mass storage should work, but USB Stick with Windows 8 is easy. If you aren't already on windows 7 this would also save you buying a copy until windows 8 is final.

[kaneMANonFIRE]

@BlackwaterOpsDotCom so you're saying i should install the windows 8 build and use that?

[BlackwaterOpsDotCom]

@kaneMANonFIRE It's free, and it is designed to install with out media, I don't know enough about your use to say for certain, but I am running windows 8 with the start menu "hack" (i have video on it) and I can't tell much if any difference from windows 7 in my day to day operations other than it is slightly faster and crashes less.

@kaneManonFire Acyually with awin7 you can do USB installs and even remote, so if you have a LAN connection its a great choice as long as you map remote drive & I would offer help and links but I am not looking to upset my fav genius but if he says OK, happy to assist.
