Recommended folder setup for simple CEF program

[somebodyy]

Hi,

is there a recommended way to setup a small cefsimple-like application?
E.g. I want to push a small application like this to a Github repository.
Obviously I want to be able to update CEF easily and optimally have none of the CEF files in my repository (instead e.g. in an ignored subfolder which gets filled by some setup script or using a git submodule).

So far I just modified cefsimple, hower:
That still leaves me with the more advanced cefclient sample etc. Removing it might make updating unpleasant.

How do you deal with this?

Cheers

Windows, Visual Studio 2013:

I have all original CEF files in their own folder tree, like E: > VS2013 > CEF3. Then my version of cefclient is in a separate folder, E: > VS2013 > MyAppFolder. The Visual Studio project settings include ../CEF3/xxx as needed.

It's good to have the plain, original cefclient around. That way I can run it to compare the behavior against my version.

So during my research I found this repository: https://github.com/andrejpavlovic/cef-cmake-externalproject-sample
There are still some problems with it though:
* Heavy duplication due to copied CMakeLists.txt and macros.cmake
* Makes use of binary build instead of git tag/branch/commit
* Need for subdirectory with separate CMakeLists.txt which holds the cefsimple stuff

Additionally I have not been able to replicate it under Mac OS X yet.
I will keep you updated on the progress I make

There is a pull patch on that repository by someone who made it work on OSX:

The cefsimple folder is there just as example to show that add_externalproject is working.
