This directory is provided in the source tree to follow above guidelines.
|
||
|
|
It is a compromise solution which takes into account Chromium developers
|
||
|
|
who want to avoid the perceived burden of more conditional code in gyp,
|
||
|
|
and expectations of Open Source community, where using system-provided
|
||
|
|
libraries is the norm.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Usage:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
replace_gyp_files.py <gyp-flags>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example: replace_gyp_files.py -Duse_system_harfbuzz=1
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The script ignores flags other than -D for convenience. This makes it possible
|
||
|
|
to have a variable e.g. ${myconf} with all the options, and execute:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
build/linux/unbundle/replace_gyp_files.py ${myconf}
|
||
|
|
build/gyp_chromium ${myconf}
