How to build chromium with minimum features

Question

I am trying to build chromium with minimal features using Fedora 23 64bit.

I followed the link from cef website did the below steps.

1. installed depot_tools package

2. mkdir chromium
   cd chromium
   fetch --no-history --no-hooks chromium
   
   cd src
   gclient runhooks
   gn gen out/Default
   
   ninja -C out/Default chrome
   

---

Build success

Now, When I tried launching the chrome (out/Default/chrome) I get the below error:

LaunchProcess: failed to execvp:

Also, I don't see libcef.so anywhere in my src folder.

Please help and guide to get a mimimal version built and running.

Before "gn gen out/Default" you need to execute these commands to get release build:

1. gn args out/Default, and
2. type "is_debug = false" in an opened editor

After build you can then run "cd out/Default && ninja mini_installer" to get an installer and archive of redistributable files.
