windows x64 cmake configuration requires manual fixes?

[theGoat]

Experimenting with Widnows 64bit CEF 3.2623.1401.gb90a3be - Chromium 49.0.2623.110 from cefbuild.com

The visual studio projects cmake generates for me don't work without many manual fixes. Such as:

• set machine type to X86 => x64 for all projects
• correct libcef_dll_wrapper.lib include paths for cefclient & cefsimple
• fix cefclient & cefsimple output directories to agree with apply manifest custom build step
• remove references to wow_helper.exe

Are these known issues or am I using cmake wrong?

Okay, rookie mistake. I needed to explicitly select a "generator" with Win64 suffix when configuring cmake.

My build gets a lot farther. The libcef_dll_wrapper project builds successfully now.

But cefclient & cefsimple fail with cef_sandbox.lib errors. . .

Code: Select all

1>cef_sandbox.lib(base.file_version_info_win.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol GetFileVersionInfoW
1>cef_sandbox.lib(base.file_version_info_win.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol VerQueryValueW
1>cef_sandbox.lib(base.file_version_info_win.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol GetFileVersionInfoSizeW

FYI: The cef_sandbox.lib errors were resolved once I configured the cmake "generator" to target visual studio 2015 Win64 instead of 2013 Win64.
