errors in building the CEF

Creating D:\code\chromium_git\chromium\src\out\Release_GN_x64 directory.
ERROR Need exactly one build directory to generate.
I expected something more like "gn gen out/foo"
You can also see "gn help gen".

There is no problem to generate Debug_GN_x64, but when generating Release_GN_x64, this error happen!

Keen for your help, thank you!

Hi,

This post mentions a similar error. https://magpcss.org/ceforum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=17117

I haven't tried to build the binaries recently but if the previous post wasn't helpful then I would try the following :

• Check that the PC has the right software versions installed. The CEF Wiki says that the Windows 10+ build system requires VS2022 17.13.4, Win 10.0.26100.3323 SDK, Ninja. https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/wiki/BranchesAndBuilding.md
• Some developers reported problems when the build system had several versions of the SDK or incorrect paths pointing to the wrong SDK, Python compiler, etc.
• Install all the options from the Windows SDK.
• Always download the latest depot_tools package before building. https://storage.googleapis.com/chrome-infra/depot_tools.zip
• Try to build CEF with the official script. https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/wiki/AutomatedBuildSetup.md#markdown-header-windows-configuration

Win 10.0.26100.3916 SDK
Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 (64) 17.14.0
only one version.
latest depot_tools
-------------
I can build the binaries in Debug_GN_x64!
When generating Release_GN_x64 error happened, and cannot build the binaries in Release_GN_x64!

Is this correct?

I couldn't find libcef.lib but libcef.dll.lib was found!

Maybe it is correct.

How much RAM and free hard drive space is in your computer?

The hardware requirements have increased lately and perhaps this is the cause of this problem.

32.0 GB RAM and 400G free disk space.
