How to change the CEF version

Some frequent questions on building this project

I need to say, I don't provide binary distribution of this projects becasue there are so many different version CEF and Qt, I can not guarantee one binary copy will meet many developers requirement. You must know this project is just a code level framework to demonstrate how to integrate Qt and CEF, how to design and implement a mechanism to support the communication between Javascript and C++ code.

Then how to choose the build tools and version:

No matter what version VS you want to use you have to build the libcef_dll_wrapper(in CEF) with the VS you chosen.

Let's say: If I want to use Qt 5.7 and VS 2015 then

  1. you need to download Qt 5.7 SDK for VS 2015 and install it
  2. you need to build the libcef_dll_warpper with VS 2015 you can do 2 first and then 1, the order donesn't matter.
