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
