  10. This distribution contains all components necessary to build and distribute an
  11. application using CEF on the Windows platform. Please see the LICENSING
  12. section of this document for licensing terms and conditions.
  13. CONTENTS
  14. --------
  15. cmake Contains CMake configuration files shared by all targets.
  16. Debug Contains libcef.dll, libcef.lib and other components required to
  17. build and run the debug version of CEF-based applications. By
  18. default these files should be placed in the same directory as the
  19. executable and will be copied there as part of the build process.
  20. include Contains all required CEF header files.
  21. libcef_dll Contains the source code for the libcef_dll_wrapper static library
  22. that all applications using the CEF C++ API must link against.
  23. Release Contains libcef.dll, libcef.lib and other components required to
  24. build and run the release version of CEF-based applications. By
  25. default these files should be placed in the same directory as the
  26. executable and will be copied there as part of the build process.
  27. Resources Contains resources required by libcef.dll. By default these files
  28. should be placed in the same directory as libcef.dll and will be
  29. copied there as part of the build process.
  30. tests/ Directory of tests that demonstrate CEF usage.
  31. cefclient Contains the cefclient sample application configured to build
  32. using the files in this distribution. This application demonstrates
  33. a wide range of CEF functionalities.
  34. cefsimple Contains the cefsimple sample application configured to build
  35. using the files in this distribution. This application demonstrates
  36. the minimal functionality required to create a browser window.
  37. ceftests Contains unit tests that exercise the CEF APIs.
  38. gtest Contains the Google C++ Testing Framework used by the ceftests
  39. target.
  40. shared Contains source code shared by the cefclient and ceftests targets.
  41. USAGE
  42. -----
  43. Building using CMake:
  44. CMake can be used to generate project files in many different formats. See
  45. usage instructions at the top of the CMakeLists.txt file.
  46. Please visit the CEF Website for additional usage information.

  48. REDISTRIBUTION
  49. --------------
  50. This binary distribution contains the below components.
  51. Required components:
  52. The following components are required. CEF will not function without them.
  53. * CEF core library.
  54. * libcef.dll
  55. * Crash reporting library.
  56. * chrome_elf.dll
  57. * Unicode support data.
  58. * icudtl.dat
  59. * V8 snapshot data.
  60. * natives_blob.bin
  61. * snapshot_blob.bin
  62. * v8_context_snapshot.bin
  63. Optional components:
  64. The following components are optional. If they are missing CEF will continue to
  65. run but any related functionality may become broken or disabled.
  66. * Localized resources.
  67. Locale file loading can be disabled completely using
  68. CefSettings.pack_loading_disabled. The locales directory path can be
  69. customized using CefSettings.locales_dir_path.
  70. * locales/
  71. Directory containing localized resources used by CEF, Chromium and Blink. A
  72. .pak file is loaded from this directory based on the CefSettings.locale
  73. value. Only configured locales need to be distributed. If no locale is
  74. configured the default locale of "en-US" will be used. Without these files
  75. arbitrary Web components may display incorrectly.
  76. * Other resources.
  77. Pack file loading can be disabled completely using
  78. CefSettings.pack_loading_disabled. The resources directory path can be
  79. customized using CefSettings.resources_dir_path.
  80. * cef.pak
  81. * cef_100_percent.pak
  82. * cef_200_percent.pak
  83. These files contain non-localized resources used by CEF, Chromium and Blink.
  84. Without these files arbitrary Web components may display incorrectly.
  85. * cef_extensions.pak
  86. This file contains non-localized resources required for extension loading.
  87. Pass the `--disable-extensions` command-line flag to disable use of this
  88. file. Without this file components that depend on the extension system,
  89. such as the PDF viewer, will not function.
  90. * devtools_resources.pak
  91. This file contains non-localized resources required for Chrome Developer
  92. Tools. Without this file Chrome Developer Tools will not function.
  93. * Angle and Direct3D support.
  94. * d3dcompiler_47.dll (required for Windows Vista and newer)
  95. * libEGL.dll
  96. * libGLESv2.dll
  97. Without these files HTML5 accelerated content like 2D canvas, 3D CSS and WebGL
  98. will not function.
  99. * SwiftShader support.
  100. * swiftshader/libEGL.dll
  101. * swiftshader/libGLESv2.dll
  102. Without these files WebGL will not function in software-only mode when the GPU
  103. is not available or disabled.
