Build

Getting started on Windows

1. The instruction should work in Windows 8.1 64bit

2. Install TDM-GCC for cgo.

3. Download CEF3 Branch 2171 binaries: release_windows.zip Extract the file to `GOPATH/Release/*

4. Copy GOPATH/github.com/24hours/chrome/doc/build.bat to GOPATH/build.bat
   Copy GOPATH/github.com/24hours/chrome/doc/minimum/main_linux.go to GOPATH/main_windows.go

5. Run build.bat command.

Getting started on Linux

1. These instructions work fine with Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit. On Ubuntu 13/14 libudev.so.0 is missing and it is required to create a symbolic link to libudev.so.1. For example on Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit run this command: cd /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ && sudo ln -sf libudev.so.1 libudev.so.0.

2. Install CEF dependencies:
   sudo apt-get install libatk1.0-0 libc6 libasound2 libcairo2 libcap2 libcups2 libexpat1 libexif12 libfontconfig1 libfreetype6 libglib2.0-0 libgnome-keyring0 libgtk2.0-0 libpam0g libpango1.0-0 libpci3 libpcre3 libpixman-1-0 libpng12-0 libspeechd2 libstdc++6 libsqlite3-0 libx11-6 libxau6 libxcb1 libxcomposite1 libxcursor1 libxdamage1 libxdmcp6 libxext6 libxfixes3 libxi6 libxinerama1 libxrandr2 libxrender1 libxtst6 zlib1g libgtk2.0-dev libpulse0 libbz2-1.0 libnss3-dev libgconf2-dev

3. Download CEF 3 Branch 2171 binaries: release_linux.zip
   Extract the file to GOPATH/release/*

4. Copy GOPATH/github.com/24hours/chrome/doc/Makefile to GOPATH/Makefile
   Copy GOPATH/github.com/24hours/chrome/doc/minimum/main_linux.go to GOPATH/main_linux.go

5. Run make command.

Getting started on Mac OS X

1. These instructions work fine with OS X 10.10 Yosemite.

2. Install command line tools (make is required) from:
   https://developer.apple.com/downloads/
   (In my case command line tools for Mountain Yosemite from 2 Dec 2014)

3. Install XCode (gcc that comes with XCode is required).
   My version is Version 6.1.1

4. Download CEF 3 Branch 2171 binaries: release_mac.zip
   Extract the file to GOPATH/release/*

5. Copy GOPATH/github.com/24hours/chrome/doc/Makefile to GOPATH/Makefile
   Copy GOPATH/github.com/24hours/chrome/doc/minimum/main_mac.go to GOPATH/main_mac.go

6. Run make command.
