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:$CEF_PATH"

macOS

export CEF_PATH="$HOME/.local/share/cef"
export DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH="$DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH:$CEF_PATH:$CEF_PATH/Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Libraries"

Windows (using PowerShell)

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

Run the cefsimple Example

Linux

cargo run --bin cefsimple

macOS

cargo run --bin bundle_cefsimple
open target/debug/cefsimple.app

Windows (using PowerShell)

cp ./examples/cefsimple/win/cefsimple.exe.manifest ./target/debug/
