Link error when building cef-project

[xaphere]

I followed the setup steps from the overview page of the cef-project. But when I try to build the project I get:

LNK2019 unresolved external symbol _cef_sandbox_info_create referenced in function "public: __thiscall CefScopedSandboxInfo::CefScopedSandboxInfo(void)" (??0CefScopedSandboxInfo@@QAE@XZ) ceftests F:\Programming\cpp\cef-project\build\third_party\cef\cef_binary_3.2924.1570.g558741c_windows32\tests\ceftests\run_all_unittests.obj 1

LNK2019 unresolved external symbol _cef_sandbox_info_destroy referenced in function "public: __thiscall CefScopedSandboxInfo::~CefScopedSandboxInfo(void)" (??1CefScopedSandboxInfo@@QAE@XZ) ceftests F:\Programming\cpp\cef-project\build\third_party\cef\cef_binary_3.2924.1570.g558741c_windows32\tests\ceftests\run_all_unittests.obj 1

I'm building on Windows 7 x64 with Visual Studio 2017.
The project was generated with cmake 3.71

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Use VS2015

Thanks amaitland. I'll try VS2015. But is there any particular reason 2017 would not work?

I was looking around the projects and saw that those functions are defined in libcef_dll/sandbox/sandbox_win.cc, but the whole sandbox folder is missing from spotify builds been downloaded from cmake.

Am I missing some setup step?

Read https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/ ... uild-steps

See comments about sandboxing in particular

`cef_sandbox.lib` provides support for sandboxing.

If you don't need it, then you can disable it.

It seems that even when disabling the USE_SANDBOX flag in CMake, the test projects build (using vs2017) still gives unresolved externals to "sandbox stuff":

run_all_unittests.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _cef_sandbox_info_create referenced in function "public: __thiscall CefScopedSandboxInfo::CefScopedSandboxInfo(void)" (??0CefScopedSandboxInfo@@QAE@XZ)
run_all_unittests.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _cef_sandbox_info_destroy referenced in function "public: __thiscall CefScopedSandboxInfo::~CefScopedSandboxInfo(void)" (??1CefScopedSandboxInfo@@QAE@XZ)

What CEF and VS2017 versions?
