It says it's missing DWrite.dll. FranceBB (from another forum) opened my build in Dependency Walker. Here are the screenshots he posted.

Willing to share XP patches for Chrome 76
I started with Chromium 76 and fixed a long list of errors on Windows XP before reaching the point where I have to replace DirectWrite with GDI. I tried several times without success. A few people have expressed interest in the code for my Chromium project but I declined to share it. I'm willing to ...

Re: Build Chromium 49 in 2019
Arkmage2: I was able to build Chromium 44 this year, 32 and 64-bit, and the 64-bit version even runs on 64-bit XP. I had to get a copy of the depot_tools they had in 2015 and use the Wayback Machine to read the build instructions available at the time of the build I was doing. Here's a full list of ...

Re: TLS 1.3 Support for XP custom build
I think Windows XP x64 Edition has better TLS/SSL support. There are sites I can visit on it that I can't on 32-bit XP.

Re: Is there a way to port the old non-material design to newer versions of Chrome?
Alex654: I have a Discord group about Chromium development if you'd like to join. I didn't cooperate with the Advanced Chrome author. Instead, I'm working with Tarnyko from the #chromium IRC. I've already replaced several function calls that don't work on XP and I'm stuck at an issue caused when PSA...

I don't know. If enough people are interested, then maybe. I hadn't really considered that.

Re: Is there a way to port the old non-material design to newer versions of Chrome?
I'm going to write about this on my blog when I make some more progress. The end goal is to make it run on Windows XP.

Re: Is there a way to port the old non-material design to newer versions of Chrome?
My custom build has shorter, trapezoid-shaped tabs. I also increased the contrast between active and inactive tabs. I did this with Chromium 76.0.3771.0.

Re: Help with compiling Chromium from 2015
I got Chromium from 2015 to compile and run on Windows XP. I was able to compile both 32 and 64 bit versions and the 64-bit version ran on 64-bit Windows XP. I'm still interested in writing my own XP-compatible fork. I heard on IRC that it might be easier to make a current version of Chromium run on...

Re: Help with compiling Chromium from 2015
@admin: Have you considered implementing a DirectShow-based decoder for Advanced Chrome? That would enable it to decode MP4 and MP3 on Windows XP.

Re: Help with compiling Chromium from 2015
Thank you for the reply. I managed to make it compile by getting an old copy of the depot_tools, but it still doesn't run on Windows XP.

Help with compiling Chromium from 2015
Can someone, perhaps the admin, help me out with compiling an older Windows XP-compatible copy of Chromium? I was able to do a "gclient sync" and get a version from 2015 to compile about 10% before failing. I'd like to work on a fork similar to Advanced Chrome so I would like to learn how the admin ...
