Add support for building the CEF binary distribution using Bazel and the default platform toolchain. Tested to work for Windows x64, MacOS ARM64 and x64 (cross-compile from ARM64), and Linux x64. Windows x86 (cross-compile from x64) is known to be broken, see https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/22164. Includes minor changes to tests directory structure to meet Bazel build requirements. |

CONTENTS
--------
bazel Contains Bazel configuration files shared by all targets.
cmake Contains CMake configuration files shared by all targets.
Debug Contains the "Chromium Embedded Framework.framework" and other
components required to run the debug version of CEF-based
applications.
include Contains all required CEF header files.
libcef_dll Contains the source code for the libcef_dll_wrapper static library
that all applications using the CEF C++ API must link against.
Release Contains the "Chromium Embedded Framework.framework" and other
components required to run the release version of CEF-based
applications.
tests/ Directory of tests that demonstrate CEF usage.
cefclient Contains the cefclient sample application configured to build
using the files in this distribution. This application demonstrates
a wide range of CEF functionalities.
cefsimple Contains the cefsimple sample application configured to build
using the files in this distribution. This application demonstrates
the minimal functionality required to create a browser window.
ceftests Contains unit tests that exercise the CEF APIs.
gtest Contains the Google C++ Testing Framework used by the ceftests
target.
shared Contains source code shared by the cefclient and ceftests targets.
USAGE
-----
Building using CMake:
CMake can be used to generate project files in many different formats. See
usage instructions at the top of the CMakeLists.txt file.
Building using Bazel:
Bazel can be used to build CEF-based applications. CEF support for Bazel is
considered experimental. For current development status see
https://github.com/chromiumembedded/cef/issues/3757.
To build the bundled cefclient sample application using Bazel:
1. Install Bazelisk [https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazelisk/blob/master/README.md]
2. Build using Bazel:
$ bazel build //tests/cefclient
3. Run using Bazel:
$ bazel run //tests/cefclient
Other sample applications (cefsimple, ceftests) can be built in the same way.
Additional notes:
- To generate a Debug build add `-c dbg` (both `build` and `run`
command-line).
- To generate an Intel 64-bit cross-compile build on an ARM64 host add
`--cpu=darwin_x86_64` (both `build` and `run` command-line).
- To generate an ARM64 cross-compile build on an Intel 64-bit host add
`--cpu=darwin_arm64` (both `build` and `run` command-line).
- To pass arguments using the `run` command add `-- [...]` at the end.
