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_tand
cef_life_span_handler_t. To understand and implement real reference counting see the UsingTheCAPI wiki page in upstream CEF project.

Compatibility
Tested configurations: - Windows: - Binary:
cef_binary_3.3202.1692.g18a939d_windows32.tar.bz2- Compilers: mingw-gcc 5.3.0 and TDM-gcc 5.1.0 on Windows 7 64-bit - Linux: - Binary:
cef_binary_3.3202.1692.g18a939d_linux64.tar.bz2- Compiler: Linux: gcc 4.8.2 on Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit - Compiler: gcc 6.3.0 on Debian 9.2 (stretch) 64-bit
Getting started
- 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
- Create cefcapi/Release/ directory
- Copy cef_binary/Release/ to cefcapi/Release/
- Copy cef_binary/Resources/ to cefcapi/Release/
- 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.
- On Windows run the "build.bat" script in the root directory

Updating CEF version
If you download a CEF version newer than
3.3202.1692then apart from copying binaries to cefcapi/Release/ directory you will also have to update the include/ directory with CEF header files.
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".
