Followed the instruction at https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/win_cross.md
to build windows Chrome on linux.
Build mini_installer and copied the file to a windows 10 machine, but it complains "unable to find local data files, please reinstall"
I also copied chrome.exe to the same windows 10 machine, and it complains "the application failed to start because side-by-side configutation is incorrect".
Here is the gn args:
target_os = "win"
is_debug = false
use_jumbo_build = true
Building chrome with the following command:
ninja -C out/Release mini_installer -j30
.gclient file:
solutions = [
{
"managed": True,
"name": "src",
"url": "https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git",
"custom_deps": {},
"deps_file": ".DEPS.git",
"safesync_url": "",
"custom_deps" : {
'src/third_party/adobe/flash/binaries/ppapi/linux': None,
'src/third_party/adobe/flash/binaries/ppapi/linux_x64': None,
'src/third_party/adobe/flash/symbols/ppapi/linux': None,
'src/third_party/adobe/flash/symbols/ppapi/linux_x64': None,
},
},
{
"url": "https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/build.git",
"name": "build",
},
]
target_os = [ 'android', 'win' ]
cache_dir = None
I also uninstalled Chrome stable and Chrome Canary on that windows 10 machine, but doesn't help
