[chromium-dev] Build target containing chrome.exe and dependencies

[Ken Russell]

Fellow Chromium developers: does anyone understand the build targets
reasonably well and if so could you please comment on
http://crbug.com/902010 ? I was trying to use mb.py's "zip" functionality
to create an archive of chrome.exe (on Windows) and all of its
dependencies, and for some reason, everything except chrome.exe is included
in the archive - despite the fact that building the "chrome" target locally
produces chrome.exe.

Thanks for any help,

-Ken

I've posted a fix for the issue (we were missing a data_deps declaration in
the //chrome:chrome target, so things would build correctly, but not be
bundled correctly).

Somewhat related: On Windows, if you want to get your locally built chrome
and all its dependencies on another machine, you can build the
"mini_installer" target, copy over mini_installer.exe, and run it on the
other machine. That way, you get exactly the files that the regular
installer bundles. This may be easier than using mb (albeit it's
windows-only).

Thanks Nico for the tip. I did end up using the mini_installer for this
purpose, but am excited that "mb.py zip" will work portably for moving
Chrome binaries around. Thank you Dirk for tracking down and fixing the
root cause!
