Hi,

I am getting the following error when trying to perform “gclient sync”:

@Srikant Balaji I was having the same problem and googling about it and came across this site. The problem is caused by not putting


  { "name"        : "cros_deps",
    "url"         : "http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/cros_deps",
  } ,

in your .gclient of chrome folder, not chromeos. It is documented here once you place it in .gclient and gclient sync. You should be able to compile them without error.

Thanks for the instructions. One minor detail probably can be confusing.

Before running ./image_to_usb.sh you have to exit the chroot environment.

Also, the script image_to_usb.sh sends the image to /dev/sdb on Ubuntu.

Below are some brief instructions that worked for me on Saturday. I’ll be rebuilding soon.
