Can't build CEFClient

[mrborman]

Hello!
I'm trying to build a cefclient example using a 'cef_binary_3.3440.1805.gbe070f9_windows32' and "MSVC++ 2010 Express"
I got an 'ALL_BUILD.vcxproj' using the 'cmake -G "Visual Studio 10 2010"', and then I'm trying to build an cefclient.
I got the following output:

1>------ Build started: Project: ZERO_CHECK, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------

========== Build: 2 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

So, libcef_dll_wrapper.lib has been created, but cefclient - no.

What i'm doing wrong?

Why i have errors in the 'browser\osr_ime_handler_win.cc' ?
---
OsrImeHandlerWin::OsrImeHandlerWin(HWND hwnd)
: is_composing_(false),
input_language_id_(LANG_USER_DEFAULT),
system_caret_(false),
cursor_index_(-1),
hwnd_(hwnd) {
ime_rect_ = {-1, -1, 0, 0};
}
---
Why error in line ' ime_rect_ = {-1, -1, 0, 0};' ?

Where is a 'shellscalingapi.h' ?

Thanks.

Why are you using MSVC++ 2010 Express? If you're going to use the free version you might as well be using 2017.

[mrborman]

So, you means that it is unable to build cefclient in 2010 studio?

That seems likely.

2010 cannot be used without patching Visual Studio 2010 header files. I remember I need to patch for version 1916, which is Chromium 25 (so like forever).

In case it can be of any inspiration:
patchenv-2010.py

Code: Select all

import sys

nul = '\0'

def patch_env(envfile, patch_include):
  f = open(envfile, 'rb')
  buf = f.read()
  result = []
  current = ''
  marker = nul
  for block in buf:
    current += block
    while 1:
      markerpos = current.find(nul)
      if markerpos == -1:
        break
      result.append(current[:markerpos])
      current = current[markerpos + len(marker):]
  result.append(current)
  patched_result = []
  for r in result:
    if len(r) != 0:
      # print r
      k, v = r.split('=')
      if k == 'INCLUDE':
        v = patch_include + ';' + v
      patched_result.append([k, v])
  f.close()
  envblock = ''
  for k,v in patched_result:
    envblock += k + '=' + v + nul
  envblock += nul
  with open(envfile, 'wb') as env_file:
    env_file.write(envblock)

def patch_environment(root_dir, include_path):
  dir = root_dir
  if dir[-1] != '\\':
    dir += '\\'
  platform = ['x86', 'x64']
  cfg = ['Debug', 'Release']
  patch_include = include_path
  for p in platform:
    for c in cfg:
      envfile = '\\' if root_dir[-1] != '\\' else '' + 'chromium\\src\\out\\' + c + '\\environment.' + p
      patch_env(envfile, patch_include)

if __name__ == '__main__':
  patch_environment(sys.argv[1], sys.argv[2])
