Getting started (from master)

1. Build the source.

   ./configure && make

   You can also cd to another directory and run configure from there to build outside the source tree.

   This will build the processor tools (src/processor/minidump_stackwalk, src/processor/minidump_dump, etc), and when building on Linux it will also build the client libraries and some tools (src/tools/linux/dump_syms/dump_syms, src/tools/linux/md2core/minidump-2-core, etc).

2. Optionally, run tests.

   make check

3. Optionally, install the built libraries

   make install

If you need to reconfigure your build be sure to run make distclean first.

To update an existing checkout to a newer revision, you can git pull as usual, but then you should run gclient sync to ensure that the dependent repos are up-to-date.

To request change review

1. Follow the steps above to get the source and build it.

2. Make changes. Build and test your changes. For core code like processor use methods above. For linux/mac/windows, there are test targets in each project file.

3. Commit your changes to your local repo and upload them to the server. http://dev.chromium.org/developers/contributing-code e.g. git commit ... && git cl upload ... You will be prompted for credential and a description.

4. At https://codereview.chromium.org/ you'll find your issue listed; click on it, and select Publish+Mail, and enter in the code reviewer and CC [email protected]
