Build fail

[sam007]

I am trying to build CEF locally for a particular branch and I am using the following code,

Code: Select all

C:/Python27/python.exe D:/CEF/automate-git.py --download-dir=D:/CEF/CEFgrossa
g_build --branch=trunk --force-build --x64-build --verbose-build --url=https://xstarjedi@bitbucket.org/xstarjedi/cef-grossag-forked.git --no-cef-update --build-tests --no-release-build --no-distrib-archive --distrib-subdir=win32

After running the build for few hours I found it through this error. (Full log)

After going through some of the queries in CEF forum, I found that I need to

Code: Select all

set DEPOT_TOOLS_WIN_TOOLCHAIN=0

or at least have it in my environment variable. I could not find any reference to this in the automate build portion of BranchesAndBuilding.

Is there some other environment variable I should set before I restart my build? I am building CEF locally for the first time so want to make sure I have everything covered.

Also, while building since I encountered an error, can I simply start rebuilding from there or do I have to start from scratch (like pull in CEF again and run the build in a new folder?)

What CEF branch are you building? Are you using the most up-to-date version of automate-git.py from https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/ ... ew-default?

No, I am trying to build this branch so that I can make use of the changes in that branch. Do I need to make some changes so that I can get the build working?

Sorry thought you were asking about the CEF branch being up to date. I checked my automate-git.py file with the link you gave and they are identical files.

What CEF branch are you building? It looks like you are using Visual Studio 2013. Newer branches require VS2015. See https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/ ... uilding.md for build requirements.

I am using this branch. Will run the build with VS2015.

If that is Chromium 1824 branch then it's highly unlikely you'll be able to build it. Currently supported branches include 2743 and 2785.

I think the CEF branch version is 2526 or 2623. Even these cannot be used to build?

The branch name is "1824-testing". Where can I find the CEF branch version in the code? (Sorry still new to CEF and C++)

[magreenblatt]

Look at the CHROMIUM_BUILD_COMPATIBILITY.txt file. It appears to be an old version of Chromium master from February of this year. That would likely place it somewhere between 2623 and 2704. It should be possible to build code in that range, but you'd likely have better luck building a release branch instead of old versions of master.

[sam007]

I actually need the changes made in that branch to display a Client Certificate List dialog for authentications like PKI (Public Key Infrastructure). I will be using the build binaries from that and add it to CefSharp.

CHROMIUM_BUILD_COMPATIBILITY.txt

I looked into it and it shows

Code: Select all

'chromium_checkout': '088f14a08fb102ca523424290965c04052eca325'

How do I connect it to what CEF branch version it is?
