-D<variable>=<value>
Provide a default value for the given variable. This
supplements settings from the GYP_DEFINES environment variable, which
should be a space-separated list of <variable>=<value>
pairs.
-f<format>[(,<format>)...],
--format=<format>[(,<format>)...]
Generate output in the formats listed. Valid formats
include make (GNU makefile), xcode (Xcode project file), msvs (Visual Studio
project file), scons (SCons rule set), and gypd (
gyp input, for
debugging).
Defaults to the value of the GYP_GENERATORS environment
variable, which should be a comma-separated list of formats, or the
platform’s native format if unset (xcode for Mac OS X,
msvs for Windows, including Cygwin, make for other Unix).
-I<path>, --include=<path>
Implicitly include the contents of the
<path> file in all loaded .gyp files.
--depth=<path>
For Chromium, the gyp "depth" variable should
always be a relative path to Chromium’s top-level src directory. This
option allows one to specify a path the DEPTH variable should be set relative
to.
Defaults to the first directory named src found as an ancestor of
one of the build files passed on the command line.
-d<debug mode>, --debug=<debug mode>
Turn on debugging output. Valid debugging modes include
"general" to list options used, "variables" to trace
variable expansion, and "includes" to trace build file include
directives.
-S<suffix>, --suffix=<suffix>
Insert the specified string in the names of generated
files before the standard extension. For example, with the make backend
and a suffix of ".foo", gyp will write the main makefile to
Makefile.foo and target-specific snippets to target.foo.mk.
-G<flag>=<value>
Set a "generator flag", which is an option
specific to the particular output format. All generator flags have names
beginning with the name of the output format. This supplements the
GYP_GENERATOR_FLAGS environment variable, which should be a
space-separated list of <flag>=<value> pairs.
--generator-output=<dir>
Write the generated build files under the <dir>
directory and adjust paths accordingly. This allows building in a separate
directory from the source files.
This overrides the GYP_GENERATOR_OUTPUT environment
variable.
--ignore-environment
Do not read options from environment variables.
--check
Take extra time to verify the syntax of each
build_file.
--parallel
Use multiprocessing for speed (experimental).
--toplevel-dir=<dir>
Directory to use as the root of the source tree.
--build=<configs>
Configuration for build after project generation.
--no-circular-check
Disable the check for circular relationships between .gyp
files. These relationships should not exist, but they’ve only been
observed to be harmful with the Xcode output format. Chromium’s .gyp
files currently have some circular relationships on non-Mac platforms, so this
option allows the strict behavior to be used on Macs and the lenient behavior
to be used elsewhere.
This option is likely to be removed once all circular
relationships in Chromium are eliminated.
