| 17 This directory is provided in the source tree to follow above guidelines. |
| 18 It is a compromise solution which takes into account Chromium developers |
| 19 who want to avoid the perceived burden of more conditional code in build files, |
| 20 and expectations of Open Source community, where using system-provided |
| 21 libraries is the norm. |
| 22 |
| 23 Usage: |
| 24 |
| 25 1. remove_bundled_libraries.py <preserved-directories> |
| 26 |
| 27 For example: remove_bundled_libraries.py third_party/mesa |
| 28 |
| 29 The script scans sources looking for third_party directories. |
| 30 Everything that is not explicitly preserved is removed (except for |
| 31 gyp files), and the script fails if any directory passed on command |
| 32 line does not exist (to ensure list is kept up to date). |
| 33 |
| 34 This is intended to be used on sources extracted from a tarball, |
| 35 not a repository. |
| 36 |
| 37 NOTE: by default this will not remove anything (for safety). Pass |
| 38 --do-remove flag to actually remove files. |
| 39 |
| 40 2. Pick the script to run depending on whether you use GYP or GN: |
| 41 |
| 42 2a. replace_gyp_files.py <gyp-flags> |
| 43 |
| 44 For example: replace_gyp_files.py -Duse_system_harfbuzz=1 |
| 45 |
| 46 The script ignores flags other than -D for convenience. This makes it |
| 47 possible to have a variable e.g. ${myconf} with all the options, and |
| 48 execute: |
| 49 |
| 50 build/linux/unbundle/replace_gyp_files.py ${myconf} |
| 51 build/gyp_chromium ${myconf} |
| 52 |
| 53 2b. replace_gn_files.py --system-libraries lib... |
| 54 |
| 55 For example: replace_gn_files.py --system-libraries libxml |
