I've never tested this on mac. It should work because of the multithreading architecture. I can't test this that good on my pc. Do you have more information. Can you give me a step by step instruction what you did? Have you followed the Application Layout guide from the CEF Wiki?

[amansx]

I did not, I'm going through it again and will let you know

[amansx]

on of the issues I found was the ifdef on linux you'll probably need to add APPLE_ && MACH

[amansx]

I'll work with you over the next few months and can help get this out

[Gurkengewuerz]

PR are welcome as i din't have much time the next days

Dropping a note here, in case someone is still around.

I got this compiling by:

• Replacing #ifdef linux on the darwin files with #if defined(__APPLE__) && defined(__MACH__)
• Replacing the cgo line with: #cgo darwin LDFLAGS: -F./Release -framework "Chromium Embedded Framework"

This makes go compile all cfe (and the examples).

Then I created an app directory, following the layout. When I try to run the binary, I get the same error as above.

It's not very clear what I should be putting as the "helper" binary? I copied the same binary that go generated.

Hello everyone.
I've found a bit of time to try cefgo on an old MacMini back from 2011. I made some changes to compile it on macOS. I also added a note for bundling on macOS and refer to the CEF Wiki. Sadly i could not run the example on my MacMini. The exception i got is related with the GPU. Could you guys try it?
