I'm trying to build Chrome under windows, I got the chromium trunk using tortoiseSVN and I believe I got everything correctly, but when I run "gclient runhooks" I get the error: "Error: client not configured; see 'gclient config'".
Now, I know that it happens because I don't have a ".gclient" file on the same directory, but I couldn't find .gclient file anywhere in the project. I tried to create .gclient file myself but it says there's a solution missing.
I'm probably missing something, can anyone help me with that? I'm pretty stuck! Thanks!
The above solution is out-dated. Running with the SVN repository results in:
Error:
The chromium code repository has migrated completely to git.
Your SVN-based checkout is now obsolete; you need to create a brand-new
git checkout by following these instructions:
http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/get-the-code
Now you need to create a .gclient file like this
solutions = [
{
"managed": False,
"name": "src",
"url": "https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git",
"custom_deps": {},
"deps_file": ".DEPS.git",
"safesync_url": "",
},
]
and do:
gclient sync
