# Setup clang (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)
# Building chromium with gcc is an uphill battle as the devs only test with clang.
# It is possible to set up a local clang compiler with the exact revision chromium expects by doing the following:
# Check out LLVM (rev 340925)
svn checkout --force https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk@340925 llvm
# Check out Clang (rev 340925)
svn checkout --force https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/trunk@340925 llvm/tools/clang
# Check out compiler-rt (rev 340925)
svn checkout --force https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/compiler-rt/trunk@340925 llvm/compiler-rt
# Make build directory and build
mkdir llvm_build
cd llvm_build
