Jeremy, First off, i will be happy to share the code or exe or whatever you will wish the thing is this, i am very interested in chrome (code wise) but i never took a stab with all your gyp and scripts... and while i know enough python to read your scripts (i learned it for it) i have no access t

Yeah, I guess so, but they are not going to invest too much time on the build system, as they have stated in this thread. ☆PhistucK On Wed, Jul 8, 2009 at 19:05, nakro wrote: > > Phistuck, this is Exactly why this issue is best handled by chrome ppl > and not outsides like myslef > > if VS2005

Phistuck, this is Exactly why this issue is best handled by chrome ppl and not outsides like myslef if VS2005 does not have the tricks of 2008 with regards to using the objects who made the library then all that is needed is to not produce libs as much and turn browser.vcproj and renderer.vcproj

So... do you think it will make things quicker on Visual Studio 2005 also?(Will the incremental linking work there, too, or do these changes require some 2008 features?) ☆PhistucK On Wed, Jul 8, 2009 at 18:43, nakro wrote: > > Ok, i am happy it catches your attention > > sadly, i cannot submit

Ok, i am happy it catches your attention sadly, i cannot submit patches for it as i wrote an external tool who does it automatically for me by patching the sln and vcproj/vsprops (i can pass the source code to anyone if wanted, its a C++ file) but what i would be glad to do if you want is clobbe

As a general observation on large development teams, infrastructure can get less love, because everyone comes to the team to work on the exciting main product, not the more mundane build infrastructure. If you have ideas on how to fix this stuff, I think it would be perfectly reasonable to put up

Pawel, since i have it working on my machine (or i really could not code with chrome) i can tell you it is much more than a flag just as an example the name of chrome_dll.vcproj produces chrome.dll, but the incremental files would clash with chrome.vcproj who does the exe another example : you se

I wonder if it would be possible to have a conditional flag, maybe in common.gypi, that you would flip to turn on incremental linking, with still non-incremental linking being the default. On Wed, Jul 8, 2009 at 05:00, nakro wrote: > > First off, i am not complaining, just suggesting as the build
