libcef_dll_wrapper.a only in the Release arm64 configuration

[Elviin]

Hi, I have built Chromium Framework in these versions:

Debug_GN_arm64
Release_GN_arm64
Debug_GN_x64
Release_GN_x64

Why is libcef_dll_wrapper.a available only from Release_GN_arm64?

And second question. How can I explicitly compile the libcef_dll_wrapper.a in all above versions?

Thank you.

My configuration

computer: macosx 15.1 Beta (24B5077a), Apple M3 Max, 64 GB



Code: Select all

export CEF_ENABLE_ARM64=1



clang version 20.0.0git (https://chromium.googlesource.com/a/ext ... vm-project 7088a5ed880f29129ec844c66068e8cb61ca98bf)
Target: arm64-apple-darwin24.1.0
Thread model: posix

update.sh: (the --x64-build and --arm64-build seems to have no effect on the creation of the src/out/ folders as all versions x64, arm64 are created )
- x64



Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
python ../automate/automate-git.py --download-dir=~/code/chromium_git --depot-tools-dir=~/code/depot_tools --no-distrib --no-build --x64-build --branch=6668



- arm64



Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
python ../automate/automate-git.py --download-dir=~/code/chromium_git --depot-tools-dir=~/code/depot_tools --no-distrib --no-build --arm64-build --branch=6668






Code: Select all

export GN_DEFINES="proprietary_codecs=true ffmpeg_branding=Chrome"

Actually the solution was quite simple: in the arm64 distritbution i can build both

Code: Select all

cmake -G "Ninja" -DPROJECT_ARCH="arm64" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug 
ninja cefclient cefsimple


I guess I can build both versions x64 and arm64 in the same distribution package. Or should I download also x64 for the mac and build x64 version there?

Code: Select all

cmake -G "Ninja" -DPROJECT_ARCH="x86_64" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
ninja cefclient cefsimple

You need a separate distribution for each architecture as the binaries are different.

Thank you @magreenblatt. I know the framework binaries are different, but I can still build libcef_dll_wrapper.a for the both architectures in both distributions, or not?

You need a separate distribution for each architecture as the binaries are different.

In the CMakeLists.txt in the BUILD EXAMPLES section there are instructions for both architectures (x64, arm64):
cmake -G "Ninja" -DPROJECT_ARCH="x86_64" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..
and
cmake -G "Ninja" -DPROJECT_ARCH="arm64" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ..

If you are only building libcef_dll_wrapper then it should be fine.
