Hi,
Building QWE 5.9.3 on Linux I run into an issue that others have also found but
apparently only when cross-compiling: src/toolchain/BUILD.gn isn't created at
first under the build dir:
https://www.google.com/search?q=webengine+%22ERROR+at+%2F%2FBUILD.gn%3A74%3A1%3A+Can%27t+load+input+file.
%22&oq=webengine+%22ERROR+at+%2F%2FBUILD.gn%3A74%3A1%3A+Can%27t+load+input+file.
%22
I'm not cross-compiling, I'm simply doing an out-of-tree build.
Why does this happen? The only leads I found were "install gperf flex and bison"
(I already had all 3) and "just run the configure step once more". That works,
but is a bit kludgy and not feasible for packaging scripts and CI set-ups.
FOrtunately the contents of the file are straightforward and trivial to get right
starting with a template *before* running the initial configure, but that has
side-effects too. It gives a 2nd build during the configure step: first 330 files
corresponding to building Ninja (I think), then 639 more files it didn't build
before.
Does anyone have a real fix?
Thanks,
René
