thorium/infra/DEBUG/README.md

Thorium Debugging Infra

• This contains .gn files and scripts for generating DEBUG builds of Thorium for debugging, testing, and inspection.
• The ABOUT_GN_ARGS.txt describes what each line in the args *.gn files do, also useful for the regular build args *.gn files.
     #NOTE: You cannot build installers for any platform with a debug build. Running the clean.sh script in the root of the repo is highly reccomended to get your //out/thorium dir from ~6-7 GB to something reasonable, like ~1-2 GB.
• Running the build_debug.sh or build_win_debug.sh will build the Thorium UI Debug Shell (views_examples_with_content) target as well as the rest of Thorium.
• Running build_debug_shell.sh can be used for any platform, and will build the standalone Thorium UI Debug Shell. (Read the DEBUG_SHELL_README.md file).
