# NOTE:

*While this repo should still be functional for the specific revision of CEF it

was created for at the time, the project I originally created it for was

abandoned when the company decided it didn't want to embed a web browser after

all. This code has not been updated since and will likely not receive any more

attention from me. In particular, I know that the CEF project was in the process

of forcing the use of the sandbox when I stopped work on this. I did not spend

any time determining what changes would be necessary to enable that functionality

with those newer versions.*

# cef

Go bindings for the

[Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF)](https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef).

Currently works for macOS, Windows and Linux.

## Initial setup required for Windows

- Download and run the installer from http://www.msys2.org/

- In the mingw64 msys2 console, run the following:

  - `pacman -Syu`

  - `pacman -Su`

  - `pacman -S mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-go mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-pkg-config msys/git`

## Initial setup

In the root of the repo, run:

```

go install

```

Then add `$GOPATH/bin` to your `$PATH` and run:

```

cef install

```

This will install the necessary CEF headers and libraries into /usr/local/cef.

## Example application

https://github.com/richardwilkes/webapp and

https://github.com/richardwilkes/webapp-example use these bindings to create

an example desktop application (currently macOS and Windows only).

## Updating the CEF version to be used

The CEF version can be updated in the `main.go` file by changing the

`desiredCEFVersion` variable. If a different CEF version is pulled, the

source files should be generated again by running `go generate ./...` on a

macOS machine. Code generation might be possible on other platforms, but has

not been tested there.
