Hi guys any idea how can I generate solution files for test application in cef ie cefsample and cefclient. Do I need to download chromium source code to build these applications.
The binary distribution downloads for CEF3 include the source code for the cefclient and cefsimple projects, in those folders. The Visual Studio solution and project files are in the parent / root folder. The VS2010 solution works fine in Visual Studio 2013 after upgrading the solution.
Are you trying to build the existing cefclient or to create a new empty client project? It's going to be much less work to start from the existing cefclient.
I am trying to build cefclient and cefsimple tests applications in folder src\cef\tests and I am struggling to generate VS solution files for them. If I run cef_create_projects.bat , its not working giving some errors which I have posted in another thread. Is there an easier way to build these sample applications?
Did you try downloading the binary distribution? It already includes SLN, VCXPROJ files for cefsimple and cefclient that work with Visual Studio. It also includes source code for them.
Even if you want to use newer versions of cefclient, cefsimple from the source download, you can still use the SLN, VCXPROJ files from the binary cef download.
Are you talking about cef_binary_1.1364.1123_windows . I have downloaded it and unzipped . I can find out cefclient2010.sln , but there are no test projects cefsimple and cefclient which are actually located in folder chromiumembedded-read-only\cef3\tests
I downloaded cef_binary_3.1750.1738_windows32 and it does include sub-folders for cefclient and cefsimple with source code. That's the binary for CEF 3.
I don't think you want to be using CEF 1 at this point since it is no longer being maintained except for bug fixes: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=10647
