CEF Forum

I am trying to compile 32-bit CEF on 64-bit ubuntu ( Ubuntu 12.04 precise)

I ran the https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/chromium/+/trunk/build/install-build-deps.sh with the --lib32 option. I have set GYP_DEFINES=target_arch=ia32.
On running the automate-git.py script to compile cef, the command

ninja -v -Cout/Debug cefclient chrome_sandbox

results in failure.
The build-trunk-debug.log shows the following error message. The same thing works fine on a Debian machine

Has anyone successfully compiled 32-bit CEF on a 64 bit ubuntu?

Thanks in advance !

libgtkglext1-dev isn't installed by install-build-deps.sh, you need to install it separately.

I have installed libgtkglext1-dev separately. I see the error even with libgtkglext1-dev package installed.

I also tried installing the 32-bit libgtkglext1-dev by running 'sudo apt-get install libgtkglext1-dev:i386'. Ubuntu does not let me install the 32-bit package and complains about unmet dependencies.
I tried forcefully installing all dependencies but this does not solve the problem.

I even tried creating a symlink to /usr/lib32 path from /usr/lib. This didn't help either

Did you install the 32-bit version?

libgtkglext1-dev is only required for the cefclient sample application. If you don't need to build cefclient you can ignore it.

We need cefclient sample application. Is there any configuration change that has to be made to allow Ubuntu to install the 32-bit package ?

Had the same issue with libgtkglext1-dev package couldn't be found on 32-bit chroot. Solved it by adding "universe" to /etc/apt/sources.list:

Code: Select all
