CEF on Wine

Post by morenweld »

Hello :)
I'm interested in supporting CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework).
Many programs require CEF and this creates difficulties in using them under Wine.
The information on how to use CEF in Wine is not available, or is outdated.
Please, specify what components are needed and what version of wine is better to use in order to resolve this problem.

There are multiple bugs affecting CEF applications. The most common one is bug 38960, and the workaround for that is to set the Windows version to XP. Chromium-based sandboxing is also incompatible with Wine (bugs 21232 and 39403). The workaround for that is to start the app with --no-sandbox or (for Steam) --no-cef-sandbox.

You may have better results using the staging version of wine, although that version is not officially supported here. Currently wine-staging 2..21. The staging version has a number of upstream patches which also included CEF functionality from version 2.18 onwards. Note that wine-devel is not wine-staging.
