How to build the CEF binaries

[thefunkyjoint]

Just to add information, 256GB of storage is no more enough to build the binaries. I had a SSD specific to build , but the build will fail because the space is full.

Thanks again thefunkyjoint !

I just updated the guide with this information.

Hello,

Do you know if the binaries can be built on Windows 11 too or only on 10 ?

[salvadordf]

Hi,

I haven't tried to use Windows 11 for this but the Wiki states that the required build system is Win 10+ with VS2022 17.5+, Win 10.0.22621 SDK, Ninja
https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/wiki/BranchesAndBuilding.md

The plus sign after Win 10 suggests that Windows 11 can also be used to build CEF.

Ok, i'll try soon and post the results here. Thanks !

Hello!

Can you help me, please?

I try to build CEF with codecs, but recive error.

[salvadordf]

I'm sorry but I don't know the reason why your build failed.

Most of the times the build fails because of some Internet issue that prevents you downloading some of the source files. Try deleting the "code" directory and all its contents and follow the building steps again.

I just added a link to the official Chromium build instructions :
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/HEAD/docs/windows_build_instructions.md

Read that document and check that all the requirements are met.

If you can't find the reason why it's failing try posting your question in the official CEF forum :
https://magpcss.org/ceforum/

I apologize if you can’t ask questions here, but I would like to know if you have found a solution to this problem? I have exactly the same error on both version 6099 and the previous one.

I simple run copy \y ... as show on screenshot and rerun compile process. But in command filel i remove flag --clean....

[dungnn]

for any1 who want buid the 6099 branch
will have to add #include <limits> to the code\chromium_git\chromium\src\base\allocator\partition_allocator\src\partition_alloc\partition_alloc_base\strings\cstring_builder.cc

Code: Select all

#include <cmath>
#include <cstring>
#include <limits>

and then build it, this is a bug when build with lastest visualstudio 2022

in my case i just wait the src downloaded and then modify the code, if some1 known how to do that better please give some advise

or we can wait delphi cef support branch 6167
