OS X Support

Current issues with OS X

Support for Mac OS X is a work in progress. Unlike on Windows, Cinder-CEF on Mac relies on a secondary browser process to run which is automatically started by the main process. This setup currently exhibits a similar issue to the Multithreaded Message Loop issue described in the main README.

Building CEF for OS X

  1. Download version 3.3282.1734.g8f26fe0 of CEF
curl -O "http://opensource.spotify.com/cefbuilds/cef_binary_3.3282.1734.g8f26fe0_macosx64_minimal.tar.bz2"
  1. Unpack and clean up
cef_binary_3.3282.1734.g8f26fe0_macosx64_minimal.tar.bz2
mv cef_binary_3.3282.1734.g8f26fe0_macosx64_minimal cef
rm cef_binary_3.3282.1734.g8f26fe0_macosx64_minimal.tar.bz2
  1. Build
cd cef
cmake -G "Xcode"
xcodebuild -target libcef_dll_wrapper -configuration Release -project cef.xcodeproj/
  1. Copy various files to blocks 'lib' folder (creating folders as needed)
include/* -> Cinder-CEF/libs/cef/include/
Release/Chromium Embedded Framework.framework -> Cinder-CEF/libs/cef/lib/osx/
libcef_dll_wrapper/Release/libcef_dll_wrapper.a ->  Cinder-CEF/libs/cef/lib/osx/
  1. Build cef_helper_mac

cd into Cinder-CEF/libs/cef

xcodebuild -target cef_helper_mac -configuration Release -project ../../cef_helper_mac/cef_helper_mac.xcodeproj/

Note on the cef_helper_mac

If you change any of the following sources you have to rebuild the cef_helper_mac:

  • process_helper_mac.cpp
  • ofxCEFClientApp.cpp/.h
  • ofxCEFV8ExtensionHandler.cpp/.h
  • cefListV8Converter.cpp/.hpp

Adding CEF to a new Project

Besides adding the block src files and linking the necessary framework and library (TinderBox coming soon!) - there is an additional manual step needed to get CEF running on macOS

  1. In the project settings go to Build Phases. There we need another Run Script build phase. Press the + then New Run Script Phase. In there goes:

    install_name_tool -change "@rpath/Frameworks/Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Chromium Embedded Framework" "@executable_path/../Frameworks/Chromium Embedded Framework.framework/Chromium Embedded Framework" "${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/${EXECUTABLE_PATH}"
rsync -aved "$CINDER_PATH/blocks/Cinder-CEF/libs/cef/lib/osx/cef_helper_mac.app" "$TARGET_BUILD_DIR/$PRODUCT_NAME.app/Contents/Frameworks/"
rm -rf "$TARGET_BUILD_DIR/$PRODUCT_NAME.app/Contents/Frameworks/$PRODUCT_NAME Helper.app"
mv "$TARGET_BUILD_DIR/$PRODUCT_NAME.app/Contents/Frameworks/cef_helper_mac.app" "$TARGET_BUILD_DIR/$PRODUCT_NAME.app/Contents/Frameworks/$PRODUCT_NAME Helper.app"
mv "$TARGET_BUILD_DIR/$PRODUCT_NAME.app/Contents/Frameworks/$PRODUCT_NAME Helper.app/Contents/MacOS/cef_helper_mac" "$TARGET_BUILD_DIR/$PRODUCT_NAME.app/Contents/Frameworks/$PRODUCT_NAME Helper.app/Contents/MacOS/$PRODUCT_NAME Helper"
