## Build Chromium
Build Chromium (the "chrome" target) with Ninja using the command:
```shell
$ ninja -C out/Default chrome
```
You can get a list of all of the other build targets from GN by running `gn ls
out/Default` from the command line. To compile one, pass the GN label to Ninja
with no preceding "//" (so, for `//chrome/test:unit_tests` use `ninja -C
out/Default chrome/test:unit_tests`).
