It is a compromise solution +which takes into account Chromium developers who want to avoid the +perceived burden of more conditional code in build files, and +expectations of Open Source community, where using system-provided +libraries is the norm. + +Usage: + +1. remove_bundled_libraries.py + + For example: remove_bundled_libraries.py third_party/zlib + + The script scans sources looking for third_party directories. + Everything that is not explicitly preserved is removed (except for + GYP/GN build files), and the script fails if any directory passed on + command line does not exist (to ensure list is kept up to date). + + This is intended to be used on source code extracted from a tarball, + not on a git repository. + + NOTE: by default this will not remove anything (for safety). Pass + the --do-remove flag to actually remove files. + +2. replace_gn_files.py --system-libraries lib... + + This swaps out a normal library GN build file that is intended for + use with a bundled library for a build file that is set up to use + the system library. While some build files have use_system_libfoo + build flags, using unbundled build files has the advantage that Linux + distros can build Chromium without having to specify many additional + build flags. + + For example: replace_gn_files.py --system-libraries libxml -- cgit v1.2.3
