Cant find project file after running gyp

Question

I am trying to build chromium embedded to test pepper API as they do here

Build CEF3/Chromium from source code as described at https://code.google.com/p/chromiumembed ... ndBuilding.
Edit C:\chromium\src\build\some.gyp, add '../ppapi/ppapi_internal.gyp:ppapi_example_paint_manager' in the 'dependencies' section.
Run gclient runhooks from the chromium src directory to update the build files.
Open C:\chromium\src\build\some.sln (on equivalent on other platforms) and build the ppapi_example_paint_manager target to create ppapi_example_paint_manager.dll.

However i dont seem to get any project file "some.*" after the build, looking in the source folder (I am on a mac), I would expect an *.xcproj file or similar in my '..chromium/src/build' folder.

Am I missing some step?

Here is the output:

gclient runhooks

It appears i had specified ninja as toolchain in an earlier stage, this can be changed to xcode:

export GYP_GENERATORS='ninja'

Change to:

export GYP_GENERATORS='xcode'
