This distribution contains all components necessary to build and distribute an

application using CEF on the Linux platform. Please see the LICENSING

section of this document for licensing terms and conditions.

CONTENTS

--------

cefclient Contains the cefclient sample application configured to build

using the files in this distribution. This application demonstrates

a wide range of CEF functionalities.

cefsimple Contains the cefsimple sample application configured to build

using the files in this distribution. This application demonstrates

the minimal functionality required to create a browser window.

cmake Contains CMake configuration files shared by all targets.

Debug Contains libcef.so and other components required to run the debug

version of CEF-based applications. By default these files should be

placed in the same directory as the executable and will be copied

there as part of the build process.

include Contains all required CEF header files.

libcef_dll Contains the source code for the libcef_dll_wrapper static library

that all applications using the CEF C++ API must link against.

Release Contains libcef.so and other components required to run the release

version of CEF-based applications. By default these files should be

placed in the same directory as the executable and will be copied

there as part of the build process.

Resources Contains resources required by libcef.so. By default these files

should be placed in the same directory as libcef.so and will be

copied there as part of the build process.

USAGE

-----

Building using CMake:

CMake can be used to generate project files in many different formats. See

usage instructions at the top of the CMakeLists.txt file.

REDISTRIBUTION

--------------

This binary distribution contains the below components.

Required components:

The following components are required. CEF will not function without them.

* CEF core library.

* libcef.so

* Unicode support data.

* icudtl.dat

* V8 snapshot data.

* natives_blob.bin

* snapshot_blob.bin

Optional components:

The following components are optional. If they are missing CEF will continue to

run but any related functionality may become broken or disabled.

* Localized resources.

Locale file loading can be disabled completely using

CefSettings.pack_loading_disabled. The locales directory path can be

customized using CefSettings.locales_dir_path.

* locales/

Directory containing localized resources used by CEF, Chromium and Blink. A

.pak file is loaded from this directory based on the value of environment

variables which are read with the following precedence order: LANGUAGE,

LC_ALL, LC_MESSAGES and LANG. Only configured locales need to be

distributed. If no locale is configured the default locale of "en-US" will

be used. Without these files arbitrary Web components may display

incorrectly.

* Other resources.

Pack file loading can be disabled completely using

CefSettings.pack_loading_disabled. The resources directory path can be

customized using CefSettings.resources_dir_path.

* cef.pak

* cef_100_percent.pak

* cef_200_percent.pak

These files contain non-localized resources used by CEF, Chromium and Blink.

Without these files arbitrary Web components may display incorrectly.

* cef_extensions.pak

This file contains non-localized resources required for extension loading.

Pass the `--disable-extensions` command-line flag to disable use of this

file. Without this file components that depend on the extension system,

such as the PDF viewer, will not function.

* devtools_resources.pak

This file contains non-localized resources required for Chrome Developer

Tools. Without this file Chrome Developer Tools will not function.
