Compiling WebCapsule

Downloading Chromium's sources

• Download and configure depot_tools

• Download chromium/blink code

  • At checkout to initially fetch the code use:

    fetch --nohooks chromium --nosvn=True

    cd "$CHROMIUM_DIR"

    sudo ./build/install-build-deps.sh

    gclient sync

  • Checkout the Chromium LKGR branch.

    cd "$CHROMIUM_DIR"

    git checkout -b lkgr origin/lkgr

    git pull

    gclient sync

  • Reset the Chromium to the tested working version by executing:

    cd "$CHROMIUM_DIR"

    git reset --hard "45eed524365a1cbc612aba31ab36aafd7788d825"

    gclient sync

    git pull

    gclient sync

• Download WebCapsule's source code and copy it over $CHROMIUM_DIR. Notice that WebCapsule's code includes changes to a number of files in the Chromium source code, as well as the addition of several new files under src/third-party/WebKit/Source/core/inspector/. Our source code release only enables the "in memory" record and replay mode. We are planning to release the real-time offloading code at a later date.

Compile source code.

• The first time you build Chromium+WebCapsule, you should do a clean build by executing the following:

  ninja -C out/Debug -t clean

  ./build/gyp_chromium -D"component=shared_library"

  ninja -C out/Debug chrome

• See the running instructions.
