CEF C API (cefcapi)

A simple example on how to use the C API in Chromium Embedded Framework created by Czarek Tomczak. Example creates a window, embeds a browser inside that window and loads Google website. Shows how to implement dummy reference counting and CEF structures with callbacks to implement CEF handlers like

cef_app_t

cef_client_t

cef_life_span_handler_t

Compatibility

Tested configurations: - Windows: - Binary:

cef_binary_3.3202.1692.g18a939d_windows32.tar.bz2

cef_binary_3.3202.1692.g18a939d_linux64.tar.bz2

Getting started

1. Download "Standard Distribution" binaries from Spotify Automated Builds for the supported CEF version mentioned in the Compatibility section above: http://opensource.spotify.com/cefbuilds/index.html
2. Create cefcapi/Release/ directory
3. Copy cef_binary/Release/ to cefcapi/Release/
4. Copy cef_binary/Resources/ to cefcapi/Release/
5. On Linux run "make gtk2" (GTK+ 2 example) or "make gtk3" (GTK+ 3 example) in the root directory. Note that you may need to build CEF with "use_gtk3=true" to link it with GTK+ 3.
6. On Windows run the "build.bat" script in the root directory

Updating CEF version

If you download a CEF version newer than

3.3202.1692

In the include/ directory you can find two files: "cefversionwin.h" and "cefversionlinux.h" - these header files were copied from CEF binary distributions for appropriate platforms and their original file names were "cef_version.h".
