Usage

Install Shared CEF Binaries

This step is optional, but it will make all other builds of the cef crate much faster. If you don't do this, the cef-dll-sys crate build.rs script will download and extract the same files under its OUT_DIR directory. You should repeat this step each time you upgrade to a new version of the cef crate.

Linux or macOS:

cargo run -p export-cef-dir -- --force $HOME/.local/share/cef

Windows (using PowerShell)

cargo run -p export-cef-dir -- --force $env:USERPROFILE/.local/share/cef

Set Environment Variables

Linux

export CEF_PATH=$HOME/.local/share/cef
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$HOME/.local/share/cef

macOS

export CEF_PATH=$HOME/.local/share/cef
export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=$DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH:$HOME/.local/share/cef

Windows (using PowerShell)

$env:CEF_PATH=$env:USERPROFILE/.local/share/cef
$env:PATH=$env:PATH;$env:USERPROFILE/.local/share/cef
