Failure to gyp leveldb.gyp on mac

Original issue 8 created by kkowalczyk on 2011-06-07T04:17:41.000Z:

I tried to generate XCode project file with gyp (latest svn sources r932) but get this error:

kjkmacpro:leveldb kkowalczyk$ gyp
Traceback (most recent call last):

' in ' + build_file
KeyError: 'Undefined variable library in leveldb.gyp while trying to load leveldb.gyp'

I know next to nothing about gyp, but it seems like a problem with lveldb.gyp

I'm on Mac 10.6.7, leveldb is r30, python 2.6.1

leveldb.gyp is interdependent with the Chromium build, and not intended to create a standalone project.

It would be possible to create a standalone gyp file that emulates the Makefile, though you still end up running an external script (either gyp or make) to sync to the latest changes.

I would recommend: pre-build libleveldb.a with make, add it to your project, and make sure leveldb/include is in your header search paths.

ashoemaker is right, leveldb.gyp was dependent on chromium stuff. So we removed it. It's now in the chromium repository.
