[SOLVED] How to build google google-breakpad for windows?

How to build google google-breakpad for windows?

I am trying to build google breakpad for windows. I don't get it. I tried installed autoconf and m4 for Windows which seems to work. But running

m4 CXXFLAGS=-m32 CFLAGS=-m32 CPPFLAGS=-m32 ./configure

results in

func_dirname ()
{
  # Extract subdirectory from the argument.
  func_dirname_result=NONE:0: m4: ERROR: EOF in string

after some seconds of executing scripts.

I searched form visual studio solution files, but they have been removed since revision 581.

So i found the related post How to build google breakpad.

But how do i install gyp? What prerequisites does it require? Or does anybody have a working (VC2005) sln file for all parts of google-breakpad ? Can anybody give me a step by step description on how to build it?

Solution

This is really poorly explained in the documentation, but actually gyp is already present if you've done an ordinary checkout of breakpad. Open a command prompt and place yourself in the root ( google-breakpad-read-only if you're going by the instructions ). Then just do:

src\tools\gyp\gyp.bat src\client\windows\breakpad_client.gyp

This will generate visual studio sln files for you.
