CEF MinGW Qt

A very simple web client built using in Chromium Embedded Framework & Qt with MinGW. The Cef events are processed by the Qt Application object. Sub-processes are spawned using a separate executable.

About

The project was sucessfully compiled and tested using the following components :

• Qt 5.3.1 for Win32 (MinGW)
• MinGW (4.8.2 Dwarf)
• CEF 3.2272.2077 Win32
• CMake 3.1.0

Building

• Download https://cefbuilds.com/#branch_2272 (CEF 3.2272.2077)
• Extract and copy only the following directories to your local git repository :

Debug/
Release/
Resources/

Do not replace include and libcef_dll directories, they have been patched by myself to allow the compilation with MinGW (see "MinGW Compilation" section).

• Create a build directory
• Run cmake from your build directory pointing to the repository root CMakeLists.txt, ie cmake -G"MinGW Makefiles" ..
• Run mingw32-make.exe install on the generated Makefile

Project

• cefqtclient
  • main browser process and ui
• cefsubprocess
  • separate sub-process executable
• libcef_dll
  • cef3's c++ wrapper

MinGW Compilation

See CEF.diff at the root for more informations about the modifications that have been done.

Thanks to

The guys from the Cef forum for their direct/indirect help.

The main CMakeLists.txt was widely built based on the Cef SimpleClient example.
