I recently stumbled on to cobalt while I was looking to port my web application to android. I followed these steps on my Linux system. I was able to complete the 'Set up your workstation' and 'Set up Developer Tools' sections.
While building, on the following line
~/cobalt$ python3 cobalt/build/gn.py -p linux-x64x11
I get the following error messages
:~/cobalt2$ python3 cobalt/build/gn.py -p linux-x64x11

This and this, I found to be different issues than mine.
I have installed GN. I am not big on GN or GYP and limited knowledge on python. I have tried 2 different LTS builds from Github. Looked for similar issues with starboard but didn't find much. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
