Building chromium on windows 8.1 using Visual Studio 2013 pro update 3 (or 4).

I have been struggling for 2 weeks now to build chromium following Build Instructions (windows). My specs are:

Every time the build failed. I tried many ways, after installing depot_tools after default way failed.

One of the error is like: src\gin\function_template.h(152) : error C2059: syntax error : ''

So, I have following questions: 1) Has anyone successfully build chromium on windows 8.1 using visual studio 13 pro update 3? 1.1) If yes, can you give the detailed instructions on installation sequence to follow if it matters, like (1. visual studio, 2. directx sdk, 3. windows sdk etc. 4. depot_tools 5. fetch chromium 6. gclient sync .... etc)?

1.2) If yes, how can you eliminate those errors like c2059?

According to http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/build-instructions-windows Chromium is only built on VS 2013 update 4. So it definitely will not work on VS 2013 Update 3.

Does it work with VS Update 5? => Answer myself: Yes, it works on VS Update 5.

It says on the website that only Visual Studio Update 4 is supported.

Worked for me.
