How to compile the Google Courgette tool?

Question

Courgette (description, source) is a Google tool that is used to update Chrome efficiently.

It seems like a great and easy-to-use tool, but I cannot manage to compile it. I've tried VS2010, GYP and using a C++ compiler directly but all has failed.

Does anybody have any advice on how to compile Courgette?

Answer 1

At least, you may follow an official Google guide on how to get compiled the whole Chromium. But instead of calling ninja -C out/Debug chrome, you can build only courgette: ninja -C out/Debug courgette. Or, if you insist on VS way of things - find the courgette project inside the Chromium project tree and "Build" it.
