Please see the LICENSING section of this document for licensing terms and conditions. CONTENTS -------- cmake Contains CMake configuration files shared by all targets. Debug Contains libcef.dll, libcef.lib and other components required to build and run the debug version of CEF-based applications. By default these files should be placed in the same directory as the executable and will be copied there as part of the build process. include Contains all required CEF header files. libcef_dll Contains the source code for the libcef_dll_wrapper static library that all applications using the CEF C++ API must link against. Release Contains libcef.dll, libcef.lib and other components required to build and run the release version of CEF-based applications. By default these files should be placed in the same directory as the executable and will be copied there as part of the build process. Resources Contains resources required by libcef.dll. By default these files should be placed in the same directory as libcef.dll and will be copied there as part of the build process. tests/ Directory of tests that demonstrate CEF usage. cefclient Contains the cefclient sample application configured to build using the files in this distribution. This application demonstrates a wide range of CEF functionalities. cefsimple Contains the cefsimple sample application configured to build using the files in this distribution. This application demonstrates the minimal functionality required to create a browser window. ceftests Contains unit tests that exercise the CEF APIs. gtest Contains the Google C++ Testing Framework used by the ceftests target. shared Contains source code shared by the cefclient and ceftests targets. USAGE ----- Building using CMake: CMake can be used to generate project files in many different formats. See usage instructions at the top of the CMakeLists.txt file. Please visit the CEF Website for additional usage information. https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/ REDISTRIBUTION -------------- This binary distribution contains the below components. Required components: The following components are required. CEF will not function without them. * CEF core library. * libcef.dll * Crash reporting library. * chrome_elf.dll * Unicode support data. * icudtl.dat * V8 snapshot data. * natives_blob.bin * snapshot_blob.bin * v8_context_snapshot.bin Optional components: The following components are optional. If they are missing CEF will continue to run but any related functionality may become broken or disabled. * Localized resources. Locale file loading can be disabled completely using CefSettings.pack_loading_disabled. The locales directory path can be customized using CefSettings.locales_dir_path. * locales/ Directory containing localized resources used by CEF, Chromium and Blink. A .pak file is loaded from this directory based on the CefSettings.locale value. Only configured locales need to be distributed. If no locale is configured the default locale of "en-US" will be used. Without these files arbitrary Web components may display incorrectly. * Other resources. Pack file loading can be disabled completely using CefSettings.pack_loading_disabled. The resources directory path can be customized using CefSettings.resources_dir_path. * cef.pak * cef_100_percent.pak * cef_200_percent.pak These files contain non-localized resources used by CEF, Chromium and Blink. Without these files arbitrary Web components may display incorrectly. * cef_extensions.pak This file contains non-localized resources required for extension loading. Pass the `--disable-extensions` command-line flag to disable use of this file. Without this file components that depend on the extension system, such as the PDF viewer, will not function. * devtools_resources.pak This file contains non-localized resources required for Chrome Developer Tools. Without this file Chrome Developer Tools will not function. * Angle and Direct3D support. * d3dcompiler_47.dll (required for Windows Vista and newer) * libEGL.dll * libGLESv2.dll Without these files HTML5 accelerated content like 2D canvas, 3D CSS and WebGL will not function. * SwiftShader support. * swiftshader/libEGL.dll * swiftshader/libGLESv2.dll Without these files WebGL will not function in software-only mode when the GPU is not available or disabled.
