macos - cef build from source _ generate xcode project - Stack Overflow

The document discusses generating an Xcode project for the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) after building it from source. The user initially seeks guidance on creating a project linked to the CefClient.app sample application and considers using a binary distribution's Xcode project if necessary. Ultimately, the solution involves creating a release distribution and using a specific cmake command to generate the Xcode project from the build outputs.

cef build from source : generate xcode project


Asked 8 years, 6 months ago Modified 8 years, 6 months ago Viewed 2k times

Background:
1 1. I followed the instructions provided here:
https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/wiki/MasterBuildQuickStart.md
2. From the steps I could clone CEF,Chromium and then build "Chromium Embedded
Framework.framework" and "CefClient.app" sample application as expected.
Note:
1. we donot intend to use binary distribution available from cefbuilds.com, since we
intend to experiment/work within "Chromium Embedded Framework.framework"
aswell.
Questions :
1. Is there a way to create an XCode project that we can use to work with the
CefClient.app sample application source code ? (project can link to "Chromium
Embedded Framework.framework")
2. If the above is not possible, Should I try to use the XCode.proj generated from a
closest binary distribution and use it here - Is this valid ? Is there a better option ?

This question definitely better ask on CEF forum: magpcss.org/ceforum/viewforum.php?f=6

I was able to generate the XCode project by making a release distribution out of the
build outputs that I generated earlier.

Once a release distribution is created, XCode project can be created by running the
command :
cmake -G "Xcode" -DPROJECT_ARCH="x86_64"
inside the release distribution directory.
