Google Breakpad fails to compile

I am attempting to build google-breakpad and I am getting the error 

  File "C:\google-breakpad\src\tools\gyp\pylib\gyp\generator\msvs.py", line 907, in _GetPathDict
    parent_dict = _GetPathDict(root, parent)
  File "C:\google-breakpad\src\tools\gyp\pylib\gyp\generator\msvs.py", line 906, in _GetPathDict
    parent, folder = os.path.split(path)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\ntpath.py", line 170, in split
    d, p = splitdrive(p)
  File "C:\Python27\lib\ntpath.py", line 125, in splitdrive
    if p[1:2] == ':':
RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded in cmp

When I run the command

src\tools\gyp\gyp.bat src\client\windows\breakpad_client.gyp

Does anyone know if Google-Breakpad is broken or how I may fix this error?

Solution

  • This was due to a misinstalled python.
