ImportError: No module named gyp_jcef

[ajith]

Hi

I am trying to compile JCEF for win32 and following "https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/java-cef/wiki/BranchesAndBuilding".
I faced some problem with step 4 "gclient sync --jobs 8 --force --nohooks" (since the repository was moved from svn), but resolved this by manually downloading gyp, psyco_win32 & python_26 from "https://chromium.googlesource.com/". After this I was able to move smoothly over step 5 and 6.
set GYP_GENERATORS=msvs
set GYP_DEFINES=jcef_platform=win32 jdk_directory="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_45"

Again in step 7, I got stuck in "gclient runhooks" and I am getting the below error. Can someone help me to find the issue, am I missing something? I am having visual studio 2012 installed.

The BranchesAndBuilding instructions were updated a few days ago and the process has changed. You should start over clean and follow the updated instructions.

Skip this section:
-3\. Clone the JCEF respository.-cd /path/to/ -git clone https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/java-cef.git

Instead, create a folder called java-cef then open command line, set the directory to where you created your folder, and run

gclient config --unmanaged --name=src https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/java-cef.git

After that, just keep following the instructions, and you should be in good shape.

Thanks for the valuable comments, it worked!!

But now I am facing multiple compilation error like
* /third_party/cef/win32/cefclient/resources/win/cefclient.exe.manifest : general error c1010070: Failed to load and parse the manifest. The system cannot find the path specified.
* native\CefCookieManager_N.cpp(18): error C2660: 'CefCookieManager::GetGlobalManager' : function does not take 1 arguments"

Not sure if its the problem with visual studio 2012 that I am using. I am trying to install 2013 and check. Will update on this soon.

You can either use Visual Studio 2010 or 2012. I have got the project to build in both. You said that you are building with 2012? Is this after updating the project files? Personally, I skipped past that prompt to update and they all built.

[ajith]

Yes, I am using VS 2012 to build the project.
After running the 7th step "gclient runhooks" successfully, I went to the Manual building section and as mentioned in step 1 I opened java-cef\src\jcef.sln and tried to build.
The build failed for both jcef and jcef_helper project (project settings: Auto, Release, Win32). Please refer to error_log.txt.

"Is this after updating the project files" I didnt understand what exactly you are asking . I am following the steps mentioned in https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/java-cef/wiki/BranchesAndBuilding as is.

Once you first open the project in Visual Studio, a window pops up prompting you to update the C++ files because they are setup for Visual Studio 2010. Ignore that instead of updating. What version of CEF3 are you using? You can find it by navigating to \src\third_party\cef\win32. It is the README.txt file.

[ajith]

When I opened the jcef.sln didn't get any popup asking for updating the files (using VS 2012 ultimate).
PSB the extract from \src\third_party\cef\win32\README.txt.
CEF Version: 3.2171.1902
Chromium Verison: 39.0.2171.36

Interesting, how did you get that version of JCEF? I just downloaded it using the new instructions and it setup my directory for Version: 3.2357.1276 Marshall suggested using
the CEF3 branch 3.2357.1280 alongside it to enable Windows32 compatibility.
