Courgette (description, source) is a Google tool that is used to update Chrome efficiently.

It seems like a great and easy-to-use tool, but I cannot manage to compile it. I've tried VS2010, GYP and using a C++ compiler directly but all has failed.

Does anybody have any advice on how to compile Courgette?

At least, you may follow an official Google guide on how to get compiled the whole Chromium. But instead of calling ninja -C out/Debug chrome, you can build only courgette: ninja -C out/Debug courgette. Or, if you insist on VS way of things - find the courgette project inside the Chromium project tree and "Build" it.
