| 1 # Build overrides in GN |
| 2 |
| 3 This directory is used to allow different products to customize settings |
| 4 for repos that are DEPS'ed in or shared. |
| 5 |
| 6 For example: V8 could be built on its own (in a "standalone" configuration), |
| 7 and it could be built as part of Chromium. V8 might define a top-level |
| 8 target, //v8:d8 (a simple executable), that should only be built in the |
| 9 standalone configuration. To figure out whether or not it should be |
| 10 in a standalone configuration, v8 can create a file, build_overrides/v8.gni, |
| 11 that contains a variable, `build_standalone_d8 = true`. |
| 12 and import it (as import("//build_overrides/v8.gni") from its top-level |
| 13 BUILD.gn file. |
| 14 |
| 15 Chromium, on the other hand, might not need to build d8, and so it would |
| 16 create its own build_overrides/v8.gni file, and in it set |
| 17 `build_standalone_d8 = false`. |
| 18 |
| 19 The two files should define the same set of variables, but the values can |
| 20 vary as appropriate to the needs of the two different builds. |
