cefclient.gyp

Hello,

Somewhere between 1750 and 2171, cefclient.gyp changed to include the following:

'actions': [
{
'action_name': 'copy_resources',
'msvs_cygwin_shell': 0,
'inputs': [],
'outputs': [
'<(PRODUCT_DIR)/copy_resources.stamp',
],
'action': [
'xcopy /efy',
'Resources\*',
'$(OutDir)',
],
},
{
'action_name': 'copy_executables',
'msvs_cygwin_shell': 0,
'inputs': [],
'outputs': [
'<(PRODUCT_DIR)/copy_executables.stamp',
],
'action': [
'xcopy /efy',
'$(ConfigurationName)\*.exe',
'$(OutDir)',
],
},
{
'action_name': 'copy_libraries',
'msvs_cygwin_shell': 0,
'inputs': [],
'outputs': [
'<(PRODUCT_DIR)/copy_libraries.stamp',
],
'action': [
'xcopy /efy',
'$(ConfigurationName)\*.dll',
'$(OutDir)',
],
},
],

Since we add more stuff to the project, we have our own gyp file that generates the Visual Studio and XCode projects for Brackets. We're using chromium gyp version 2003 and it is rendering the "xcopy /efy" from above as "xcopy \efy" in the vcxproj file because the script is converting all forward slashes to backslashes in the rendered output.

So, how is cefclient.vcxproj/cefsimple.vcxproj getting fixed because the included vcxproj files have the corrected "/efy" switches?

When I run cefclient.gyp (or the Brackets gyp with the change from above) through gyp, the vcxproj files are rendered with "xcopy \efy" commands which is invalid. My guess is there is post-script somewhere, I hope, that transforms "xcopy \efy" to "xcopy /efy" in the output files but I'm not finding it in the cef distribution for 2171.

Thanks for your help,

It's currently fixed in make_distrib.py. Also, be aware that the CEF binary distribution is moving from GYP to CMake and that the GYP files will likely be deleted in the near future (see https://code.google.com/p/chromiumembed ... il?id=1404).

Yeah I noticed the new CMake Files Thanks for the heads up!
