GMod HTML

This is pretty much just an abstraction layer around The Chromium Embedded Framework (https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef)

Chromium Embedded Framework Binary Distribution

To work with this project you will need a build of the Chromium Embedded Framework. You can download the builds used by Garry's Mod here if you don't want to compile your own:

These belong in the ./thirdparty/cef3/ directory (after extraction.) The paths are currently hardcoded into the root CMakelists.txt file.

Getting started

Windows

Requirements

• Visual Studio 2019
• CMake 3.15 or newer

Generating Visual Studio Solution

x86

mkdir build_x86
cd build_x86
cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A Win32 ..

x86-64

mkdir build_x64
cd build_x64
cmake -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 ..

After running either of these sets of commands, you can enter your created directory and open the gmod-html.sln solution in Visual Studio. Compiling the INSTALL project will place a complete build into <your_build_dir>/bin by default.

Linux

Requirements

• A version of GCC/G++ or Clang/Clang++ with C++11 support
• CMake 2.8.7 or newer

Compiling

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" ..
make && make install

This will place a complete build into build/bin by default.

macOS

Todo

TODO

• Improve the CMake files. We don't use them for GMod builds so they're a bit wonky.
• Get the example_host into workable condition. It's disabled at the moment
• Cleanup. Everything is quite messy.
• macOS. These builds require quite a few unique things so they're not handled by the CMake scripts at all at the moment. It's still technically possible to get the builds working, though.
• Dynamic loading of the HTML implementation. Atm we just use dylib() or LoadLibrary() in each host which is kind of lame. It'd be nice to simplify it.
