Is it possible to generate .sln file from .ninja file?

Question

I was messing around with chromium and was left with a build.ninja file. I want to see if it's possible to generate in some way a .sln file so I could build the project in visual studio to use build acceleration programs on it.

Answer 1

You can use the following command to generate a Visual Studio solution:

gn gen out\YourBuildFolder --ide=vs

You should execute the above command from the src folder. After that command completes, you should see all.sln in the YourBuildFolder folder
