WebRTC standalone shares a lot of dependencies and build
tools with Chromium. To make the build work, many of the
paths of a Chromium checkout is now emulated by creating
symlinks to files and directories.
All DEPS entries that previously used Var("chromium_trunk")
to reference a Chromium checkout or From("chromium_deps"..)
to reference the Chromium DEPS file are now removed and
replaced by symlink entries in setup_links.py.
The script also handles cleanup of the legacy
Subversion-based dependencies that's needed for the
transition.
Windows: One Windows-specific important change is that
gclient sync|runhooks must now be run from a shell
with Administrator privileges in order to be able to create
symlinks. This also means that Windows XP is no longer
supported.
To transition a previously created checkout:
Run "python setup_links.py --force" to cleanup the old
SVN-based dependencies that have been synced by gclient sync.
For Buildbots, the --force flag is automatically enabled for
their syncs.
