A simple hello world application to get you started with CEF3.
It setups a browser, loads a local file and binds JS methods.
The lib folders containing CEF binaries were removed from the repository because GitHub does not allow files bigger than 100MB, and some of them are. They are available as a Release in GitHub.
Download and unpack in CEF3SimpleSample/CEF/Linux/, CEF3SimpleSample/CEF/Mac/ or CEF3SimpleSample/CEF/Win/
Requires VS 2019 and cmake.
From a Native VS 2019 x64 command prompt, Change directory to the root of the repository:
cd CEF3SimpleSample
Download https://github.com/acristoffers/CEF3SimpleSample/releases/tag/90.6.5 and extract to CEF3SimpleSample\CEF3SimpleSample\CEF\Win\Lib as mentioned above. Then:
mkdir build
cd build
mkdir bin
cmake ..
Download the cef standard distribution from: https://cef-builds.spotifycdn.com/cef_binary_90.6.5%2Bg7a604aa%2Bchromium-90.0.4430.93_windows64.tar.bz2, extract it and copy resource.pak, chrome_100_percent.pak and chrome_200_percent.pak from \Resources to build\bin
msbuild /p:Configuration=Release CEF3SimpleSample.sln
To run go to build\bin and execute
CEF3SimpleSample.exe
You should see a window with a label and a button that if presed would change the label from Hello to "Hello, world!". If not check if debug.log contains any useful info.
