Branch 4147 Binary Distrib build cefclient

[edgardog]

Hi,
I was having issues building with cefclient on ubuntu 16 until I started using:
GN_DEFINES includes use_sysroot=true
python automate-git.py --download-dir=/media/ExtraDrive1/cef4147/code --branch=4147 --x64-build --force-update --no-debug-build --force-config --force-clean --force-clean-deps --build-target=cefsimple

With those steps I can build cef4147.

Then I try to build cefclient and cefsimple from the binary_distrib:
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
and compile with: make -j8 cefclient cefsimple

I get an issue with: cefclient/browser/client_types.h:12:21: fatal error: gtk/gtk.h: No such file or directory

Are there any other steps I need to do to build from the binary_distrib including cefclient ?

Thanks

Is the libgtk2.0-dev package installed on your system?

[edgardog]

I think so

Code: Select all

sudo apt install libgtk2.0-dev
Reading package lists... Done

libgtk2.0-dev is already the newest version (2.24.30-1ubuntu1.16.04.2).

Sorry,
there must be something wrong with my setup.
I used a clean ubuntu 16 VM to build the binary distrib and worked perfectly.

This is probably the reason why I cant build cefclient straight with automate.

I will re-install ubuntu on this computer (clean).. just to confirm.. Can i build CEF using sys_root on ubuntu 18?

Thanks for the help.

Yes, building with use_sysroot=true should work on Ubuntu 18.

This is probably the reason why I cant build cefclient straight with automate.

The cefclient target cannot be built using Chromium's sysroot environment, because the sysroot environment does not contain libgtkglext1.

[edgardog]

Yes, I got that..
I used to be able to build on this Ubuntu 16 computer without the need of sys_root.
But I revised my steps based on your advice.. I think building with sys_root=true and then building cefclient from the binary_distrib is cleaner than what I have been doing before.

Thanks again for the help!
