- jbroman 6y agoIt's uses gn, a build system developed for Chromium. That said, on an Ubuntu system the steps to build Chromium are fairly well-documented and straightforward, as long as you have an appropriately beefy system (unfortunately it's a long wait and a fair amount of RAM is required, and Googlers tend to use a distributed build system). https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/linux/build_instructions.md https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs...
- tedmielczarek 6y agogn is of course a meta-build system, the initials stand for "generate ninja". ninja does the actual build execution. The Firefox build system has a similar homegrown frontend called mozbuild, which generates Makefiles for the actual build.
