1 This directory contains files that make it possible to use system libraries. 2 3 For more info please read the following: 4 5 - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries 6 - https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Why_not_bundle_dependencies 7 - http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#s-embeddedfiles 8 9 For more Chromium-specific context please read 10 http://spot.livejournal.com/312320.html . 11 12 This directory is provided in the source tree to follow above guidelines. 13 It is a compromise solution which takes into account Chromium developers 14 who want to avoid the perceived burden of more conditional code in gyp, 15 and expectations of Open Source community, where using system-provided 16 libraries is the norm. 17 18 Usage: 19 20 replace_gyp_files.py <gyp-flags> 21 22 For example: replace_gyp_files.py -Duse_system_harfbuzz=1 23 24 The script ignores flags other than -D for convenience. This makes it possible 25 to have a variable e.g. ${myconf} with all the options, and execute: 26 27 build/linux/unbundle/replace_gyp_files.py ${myconf} 28 build/gyp_chromium ${myconf} 29
