CEF Build Options

[Oliver]

Hello,

we're using CEF for a very minimalistic use case of simple rendering web pages. Meaning we wouldn't need any additional functionalities like sandboxing, dev tools, printing, spell check etc. For Chromium there is the content module.

Are there build options to strip functionalities from CEF ?

Thank you,
Oliver

There are no build options that will make a substantial difference in library binary size. You can run without some of the *.pak files. See the README.txt file for details.

Ok thank you.

Also a bit related to that. I was wondering on which compilation targets are supported ? I was trying to switch to uwp by setting the GN_DEFINE: target_os=winuwp but i was running into a bunch of errors during generation. Target "win" is working just fine.

Should what work and I'm just missing something ?

Thank you,

CEF does not support UWP as a build target. What results do you get from building Chromium (chrome or content_shell target) with target_os=winuwp?
