Hi, I'm facing the exact same issue. I am string to build v8 as a standalone project. I have cloned depot_tools and run gclient successfully I have cloned v8 separately and run git pull && gclient sync successfully No 'build' directory has been created When I run tools/dev/gm.py x64.release, I get ERROR at //.gn:5:1: Unable to load ".../v8/build/dotfile_settings.gni" (erased the root for clarity). Are the instructions at https://v8.dev/docs/build missing a step ? Or am I misreading them ?
