Question about Cef 64-bit builds listed as experimental

Postby meflynn » Mon Oct 20, 2014 4:11 pm

I have a question about the mac 64 bit builds.

The build instructions list how to build 64-bit but all the 64-bit OSX builds on cefbuilds.com are listed as experimental without much explanation of that tag. What is the experimental tag saying about the stability of 64-bit builds on mac? Should we stay away from 64-bit builds for production at this point?

I know chrome is still 32-bit for OSX so I would guess we wouldn't see a non-experimental 64-bit build until cef is using a version of chromium that has been released as 64-bit with chrome. Is this correct?


Thanks again for the great project and support.

Yes, that's correct.
