Getting started (from main)
- 
First, download depot_tools and ensure that they’re in your PATH.
- 
Create a new directory for checking out the source code (it must be named breakpad). mkdir breakpad && cd breakpad
- 
Run the fetchtool from depot_tools to download all the source repos.fetch breakpad cd src
- 
Build the source. ./configure && makeYou 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).
- 
Optionally, run tests. make check
- 
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
- 
Follow the steps above to get the source and build it. 
- 
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. 
- 
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.
-
