Chromium Embedded Framework Simple Application
A simple hello world application to get you started with CEF3.
It setups a browser, loads a local file and binds JS methods.
Lib folders
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/
Windows
Requires VS 2019 and cmake.
