Deprecated GYP Instructions

Use GN instead of GYP, as described in the developer instructions. Support for GYP will be removed in the future.

Though deprecated, GYP is still run by gclient sync. You may want to set certain environment variables ahead of time.

On Windows:

• GYP_GENERATORS to msvs (other options include ninja and make)
• GYP_MSVS_VERSION to 2015

On Linux and MacOS:

• GYP_GENERATORS to ninja (defaults to ‘make’ that pollutes your source directory)

To run GYP at other times use the script gyp/gyp_angle.

Running ANGLE under apitrace on Linux

See the debugging tips and replace the gn steps with:

gyp/gyp_angle -D angle_link_glx=1 -D angle_gl_library_type=static_library

Deprecated Windows Store Instructions

Building for Windows Store is deprecated because it requires GYP.
