Build Chromium for multiple target_cpu

I have been trying to compile Chromium for multiple target by specifying target_cpu to Build.gn as given below but nothing works, only single options like arm or arm64 are able to compile.

target_cpu = ['arm64','arm'] not supported by gn

target_cpu = "arm64" | "arm" not supported by gn

target_cpu = "arm64" // works

target_cpu = "arm" // works

How to compile chromium apk both arm64 and arm platforms

The target_cpu must specify a single target, it doesn't support multiple targets. If it did, the debug symbols and files would be over written in your build folder.

So, you have to create a different build folder for each target

// For Arm architecture
gn gen out/arm

// For x86
gn gen out/x86

Then specify the arguments for each build target by executing:

gn args out/BUILD_FOLDER

Basically, it will open args.gn file located in BUILD_FOLDER. It will open that file in a text editor where you can specify target_cpu architecture along with other build flags. Then start the compilation process by executing

ninja -C out/BUILD_FOLDER chrome
