Building CEF with VS2015 Express Edition

[Phylanx]

Hi!

We started working on the CEF branch, since we need to make some small adaptions and tried to get it running with the automated method described in "https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/wiki/BranchesAndBuilding" for branch 2704.
Since I work for a commercial company, we are not allowed to use the Visual Studio Community Edition for free, so I started working with the Express edition (of course Visual Studio 2015).

When I start compiling, I always get an error (after about 50 minutes of compiling done):
The "atlbase.h" file can't be found.

After some research, I found out that this should be part of the Visual Studio, but it is not included in the Express Edition.
I downloaded the "Windows Driver Kit" in the newest supported version, but that also doesn't work.

Is there any possibility to get the CEF Build this working with Visual Studio Express Edition?

You'll need at lest VS 2015 Professional/Community.

Thank you for your response!
I will try to get a better VS version of my company.

If your working on Open Source software then I beleive your allowed to use the community edition, even within an organisation.

See the usage section down the bottom.

I see, if we would contribute, it would be free.
Where is the border?
Is it enough to adapt the code for our needs or do you have to make at least one pull request?

I guess, there's much wiggle room in that case

[amaitland]

You'd have to ask Microsoft.

We get VS2015 Enterprise Edition.
Other colleagues of our company need it too, so we get it licensed.

Thread can be closed, thx for help!
