I am trying to build Chromium from source. I was able to build it for Windows, now I am trying to build it for Mac.
I am customizing the branding so I can have my own icon and browser name.
I made these changes to: chromium/src/chrome/app/theme/chromium/BRANDING
:
COMPANY_FULLNAME=The NewChromium Authors
COMPANY_SHORTNAME=The NewChromium Authors
PRODUCT_FULLNAME=NewChromium
PRODUCT_SHORTNAME=NewChromium
PRODUCT_INSTALLER_FULLNAME=NewChromium Installer
PRODUCT_INSTALLER_SHORTNAME=NewChromium Installer
COPYRIGHT=Copyright 2017 The NewChromium Authors. All rights reserved.
MAC_BUNDLE_ID=org.newchromium.NewChromium
MAC_CREATOR_CODE=Cr24
And here is my args.gn
:
remove_webcore_debug_symbols = true
is_official_build = true
is_debug = false
google_api_key = "xxxx"
google_default_client_id = "xxxx"
google_default_client_secret = "xxxxx"
symbol_level = 0
Then I build:
ninja -C out/NewChromium chrome
As expected, I get a ./out/NewChromium/NewChromium.app
But when I launch it I get:
[0821/211427.998086:ERROR:icu_util.cc(114)] icudtl.dat not found in bundle
[0821/211427.998997:ERROR:icu_util.cc(133)] Invalid file descriptor to ICU data received.
Trace/BPT trap: 5
If I revert back to the default chromium/src/chrome/app/theme/chromium/BRANDING
it works fine.
Am I missing some key change that needs to accompany BRANDING? Thanks!
