Manual Build for 32 bit

[relson12]

I'm trying to build a 32 bit binary. I am following the manual downloading instructions.
However, after I've successfully cloned the JCEF using git, the next step is to configure the gclient to download third party dependencies. You have the path set to java-cef so I'm wondering how gclient can be run if it is located outside of the java-cef folder and is listed in the depot tools folder? The cloning of java-cef placed the folder within my depot tools folder. I receive an error saying that gclient was not found when I mirror that path and if I run it with the depot tools path,
nothing happens. I did successfully complete this build in the past so I'm wondering if perhaps you could point me to where my mistake is?

The depot_tools and java-cef folders should be separate. For example, c:\code\depot_tools and c:\code\java-cef. You then add the depot_tools folder to your PATH.

Thanks, it ended up being a simple syntax error in my environmental variable path. However, when I go to build the three projects in Visual Studio 2012, third party, and jcef_helper are building correctly, but jcef is not. I'm seeing the following 5 errors that I've attached a screenshot of.

You're probably using the wrong version of CEF. See the README.jcef file for the correct version.

[relson12]

Thanks! My only issue now is during the building of the J-cef.sln, the jcef_version.h file is missing and when I run the make_version.py or bat, it will not generate it. The gclient runhooks command should have generated it then correct?

[magreenblatt]

The gclient runhooks command should have generated it then correct?

Correct. Is it outputting any errors?

[relson12]

Yes actually it is returning:

ImportError: No module named gyp
Error: Command C:\Users\relson\Desktop\depot_tools\python276_bin\python.exe src/tools/gyp_jcef src /jcef.gyp -I src/jcef.gypi returned non-zero exit status 1 in C:\java-cef

Did you run 'gclient sync'?

[relson12]

Yes, I did run sync in the beginning as specified. I have a few questions though. Once I execute gclient runhooks, it builds the jcef sln. I noticed that when I first cloned javacef, it created duplicates of the build,java,native,third_party, and tools folders within the first src folder. Was this supposed to happen? I also noticed that when I first extracted the cef archive, it imported the project and sln files for cef client, and after running runhooks, it created a second set of project files and sln for cef client. Should I be running the first or second regarding the build of cef client? Javacef won't build correctly because it complains about the libraries for libcef and libcef.dll not being found. They are currently located within the win32 folder under third_party/cef,include, and third_party/cef/libcef_dll. Right now, I have the javacef.sln and build files outside of the win32 folder that you instructed on extracting cef to. How should I go about getting the libraries to be found by javacef?

Thanks for your assistance Marshall!

Sounds like your directory structure might be wrong. This is what it should look like:

Code: Select all

java-cef/
  .git/
  .gclient
  src/
    build/
    java/
    native/
    third_party/
    tools/
    jcef.gyp
    jcef.sln
    ...


Run gclient from the top-level java-cef directory.
