It uses several files from the naclports +python package. Note that it requires the ADB daemon to be running on the host +machine (run 'adb start-server'). + +The app is built as follows (see build.sh for more details): + + 1. The output directory out/ is cleaned. + 2. The contents of the template/ directory are copied/linked to + out/memory_inspector_app/. + 3. Prebuilt files for running Python inside PNaCl are downloaded from + https://gsdview.appspot.com/naclports/ to out/memory_inspector_app/ and + out/memory_inspector_app/sandbox/. + 4. The out/memory_inspector_app/sandbox/pydata_pnacl.tar file is augmented + with Memory Inspector dependencies (e.g. ../memory_inspector/). + 5. The app can now be added to Chrome by loading the out/memory_inspector_app + folder as unpacked extension in chrome://extensions. A zip file + out/memory_inspector_app.zip is also generated for easy distribution. + +The app is currently (January 2015) in a very early stage of development. If you +encounter any issues, please report them on https://crbug.com and use the Memory +Inspector directly by running ../start_web_ui instead. + +For more information see: + - Meta-bug: https://crbug.com/448399 + - naclports: https://code.google.com/p/naclports/ + |
