Error when try to compile Chromium

Question

I try to use the command ninja -C out/Debug chrome to compile Chromium.

However the error msg says that:

ninja error loading \'build.ninja\'         


        

Answer 1

The out directory and its contents (including build.ninja) are created by running

python build\gyp_chromium

or

gclient runhooks

Executing either command from within /src should allow your compile to proceed.
