Exception when running cef_create_projects.sh on Mac

[Nathan Sobo]

I'm getting an exception from GYP when I try to generate the CEF projects. Please excuse the huge chunk of output, but I want to ensure you have sufficient information to help me out... A transcript of the steps I performed is at the bottom of this message. Thanks!

Here are the steps I performed:

mkdir chromium

cd chromium

vi .gclient # paste the contents from the readme

gclient sync

# ... lots of git activity

cd src

git submodule add git://github.com/rogerwang/cef.git

cd cef

./cef_create_projects.sh

would you try this first:

a. Create ~/.gyp/include.gypi

{

'variables':{

'mac_sdk': '10.6'

}

}

b. Chromium/src/cef/cef.gyp , modify:

# '../third_party/nwebkit/nwebkit.gyp:nwebkit',

c. Generate config.gypi

cd src/third_party/node

./configure

d. Src/build/common.gypi and src/cef/cef.gypi, modify:

'use_openssl%':1 to 'use_openssl%':0

e. Run cef_create_projects.sh, then run GYP_DEFINEDS='mac_sdk=10.6' gclient runhooks, then run xcodebuild -project cef.xcodeproj -configuration Release/Debug - target cefclient

f. Modify src/cef/include/cef_version.h, if file not exist, please execute src/cef_create_projects.sh first. Line 38:

#define CEF_REVISION None

To

#define CEF_REVISION 0

Or other number.

btw, we've been cooking binaries for all the 3 platforms. You can have a

When I ran the .pkg file at that link I couldn't really see that it actually installed anything. So I ripped open the package and extracted the .app bundle. I'd really suggest *not* distributing as a .pkg file if at all possible. Why not just distribute a .dmg with the app bundle on it? Anyway, I extracted the app manually and tried to run it and got a crash on start with the following error: Looks like libv8 needs to be installed globally? Could you maybe bake it in. I'll keep trying to compile.

I have updated .pkg file now ( https://s3.amazonaws.com/node-webkit/osx/cef_mac.pkg ). The new will copy libv8.dylib to correct directory (/usr/local/lib). And the app will be installed in /Applications, please double click cefclient icon to run it. I have tested it on different mac machines, and it worked. You can try it.
