Thorium Debugging Infra

  • This contains .gn files and scripts for generating DEBUG builds of Thorium for debugging, testing, and inspection.
  • The ABOUT_GN_ARGS.md describes what each line in the args *.gn files do, also useful for the regular build args *.gn files.
       NOTE: You cannot build installers for any platform with a debug build. Running the clean.sh script in the root of the repo is highly recommended to get your //out/thorium dir from ~6-7 GB to something reasonable, like ~1-2 GB.
  • Running the build_debug.sh or build_win_debug.sh will build the Thorium UI Debug Shell (views_examples_with_content) target as well as the rest of Thorium.
  • Running build_debug_shell.sh can be used for any platform, and will build the standalone Thorium UI Debug Shell.
       NOTE: Running either of the above will make a directory in //out/thorium called Thorium_UI_Debug_Shell with all the artifacts and Readme inside, suitable for zipping up and distributing to users.
  • For more information, read the DEBUG_SHELL_README.md file).
