Build failed while compiling chromium-ozone-wayland

Hello,
I am trying to compile chromium-ozone-wayland on Yocto for IMX8MP board, but the compilation fails with the error:

| DEBUG: Python function extend_recipe_sysroot finished
| DEBUG: Executing shell function do_configure
| ERROR at //.gn:150:5: Assignment had no effect.
| build_dotfile_settings.exec_script_allowlist +

NOTE: Tasks Summary: Attempted 2814 tasks of which 2800 didn't need to be rerun and 1 failed.

I have added CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += "chromium-ozone-wayland" in conf/local.conf

Below is my yocto configuration,

Build Configuration:
BB_VERSION = "2.16.0"
BUILD_SYS = "x86_64-linux"
NATIVELSBSTRING = "universal"
TARGET_SYS = "aarch64-poky-linux"
MACHINE = "imx8mp-lpddr4-evk"
DISTRO = "fsl-imx-wayland"
DISTRO_VERSION = "6.18-whinlatter"
TUNE_FEATURES = "aarch64 armv8a crc crypto"

Thanks,

Dharmik

Hi Dharmik,

Can you try adding to local.conf one more thing besides chromium package?

PREFERRED_VERSION_gn-native = "0+git"

Let me know if the issue still persists.

Best regards,

Diana

After adding PREFERRED_VERSION_gn-native = "0+git" changes I am getting below error,

I've seen this error in the past Chromium versions, and what worked for me in that build situation was a change in this file:

\tmp\work\armv8a-mx8-poky-linux\chromium-ozone-wayland\117.0.5938.132\chromium-117.0.5938.132\media\gpu\sandbox\BUILD.gn

if (current_cpu != "s390x" && current_cpu != "ppc64" && is_linux && ozone_platform_x11 &&
      !is_castos) {
    # For DRI_DRIVER_DIR.
    configs += [ "//build/config/linux/dri" ]
}

Adding "&& ozone_platform_x11 " to the platform list at the bottom of this files fixed the issue.

Could you check whether Chromium v138 has already ozone_platform_x11 added?

Best regards,
