How to build libcef_dll_wrapper.lib for Version 37 using VS2010

[rover886]

Hi team,

I want to build libcef_dll_wrapper.lib for Visual studio 2010 for latest (v37) cefsharp.To do this I have downloaded cef-binary-master.zip from https://github.com/cefsharp/cef-binary. changed build.ps1 as suggested by @jornh @ cefsharp/CefSharp#810 (comment) but I am not able to run build.ps1 file getting error

Copy-Item : Cannot find path 'E:\Downloads\cef-binary-master_V37\cef-binary-master\cef_binary_3.y.z_windows64\include'
because it does not exist.
At E:\Downloads\cef-binary-master_V37\cef-binary-master\build.ps1:117 char:12

• Copy-Item <<<< $Cef64\include $CefInclude -Recurse | Out-Null
• CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (E:\Downloads\ce...ndows64\include:String) [Copy-Item], ItemNotFoundExce
  ption
• FullyQualifiedErrorId : PathNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.CopyItemCommand

After checking path E:\Downloads\cef-binary-master_V37\cef-binary-master\cef_binary_3.y.z_windows64\ i found that only .empty file is there. SO how can i download

You'll need to download the x64 and x86 versions from http://cefbuilds.com/#branch_2062

Unzip and copy into their relevant folders.

Okay, thanks I started downloading. Just for knowledge how you decide which branch need to download. I mean How you decided to download branch 2062 whereas more other version are available on that website.

[amaitland]

If you look closer you'll see that 2062 builds say something like Chromium 37.0.2062.94, which means it's version 37. The master branch is setup to build versions for 39, so you'll have to look back through the history and pick the last 37 version.

Thanks a lot.

I tried as you said, after downloading and extracting cef-binary-master.zip which is having blank cef_binary_3.y.z_windows64 and cef_binary_3.y.z_windows32 folders I downloaded cef_binary_3.2062.1930_windows32 and cef_binary_3.2062.1930_windows64 and extracted all its content to there respective folder.

Then I modified build.ps1 as

switch -Exact ($Target) {
"nupkg" {
    #VSX v120
    #VSX v110
    VSX v100
    Nupkg
}
"nupkg-only" {
    Nupkg
}
"vs2013" {
    VSX v120
}
"vs2012" {
    VSX v110
}
"vs2010" {
    VSX v100
}
}

After running this file from power shell I got this message:

    206 Warning(s)
    103 Error(s)

    Time Elapsed 00:00:27.55

    Die : Build failed

There are so many errors on power shell window, don't know which to post. I also tried by opening cefclient2010.sln (32 bit) in VS2010 and build the solution but got error as error C2220: warning treated as error - no 'object' file generated. Where I am doing wrong?

[amaitland]

master = 2171, you'll need to go through the commit history and find the last 2062 commit.

[rover886]

okay, is this https://github.com/cefsharp/cef-binary/tree/2e18189fc4deaa5c70069fb5402a101371a8e4f4 is the last commit on 2062, just confirm please?

[amaitland]

Yep, that's it.

[rover886]

I tried with downloading cefsharp-cefbinary for 2062 version. and executed build.ps1. This time also it got ended with error 😢

@rover886 Did you sort this? Can we close? From other comments it sounds like you got things working.
