Chromium and CEF dll linkerverion is 14.00 while MSCV- 2019

Building Chromium and CEF in Windows-10,
Followed - https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/ ... dows-setup for building chromium and cef

c:\code\chromium_git\update.bat -
Code: Select all
 set GN_ARGUMENTS=--ide=vs2019 --sln=cef --filters=//cef/*

c:\code\chromium_git\chromium\src\cef\create.bat -
Code: Select all
set GN_ARGUMENTS=--ide=vs2019 --sln=cef --filters=//cef/*

Before running the ninja script set I ran -
Code: Select all
set GYP_MSVS_VERSION=2019


after running ninja -C out/Release_GN_x64 cef script

I went on to check linker version of binaries like- Libcef.dll, chrome_elf.dll, libEGL.dll, libGLESv2.dll
using VS Command prompt dumpbin /headers <path-to-dll>
I got the linker version - 14.00 which suggest the VS'15 version, not VS'19

Want to know why this mismatch of linker version if I have used VS'19 as MSVS and ide

Chromium builds using clang/llvm. Likely that version number is selected for MSVC compatibility reasons.
