Dependency Advisory

XNAWebRenderer makes use of the Chromium Embedded Framework:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_Embedded_Framework

The dependency list of CEF is huge. If you find that you are unable to run the program, check the libcef file for libraries your system may not have.

Developer Advisory

On GNU/Linux, CEF will crash if you do not have libcef.so preloaded before program execution. The bug report can be found here (marked as WONTFIX):

The solution is to use LD_PRELOAD to load the library before executing the MonoKickstart runtime. The change will look like this, for example:

LD_PRELOAD="libcef.so" ./XNAWebRenderer.bin.x86_64

On Mac OSX, CEF will crash the Mono runtime by sending the program signals that crash the garbage collector threads. At the moment, the current workaround is to use reference counting rather than signals for the GC:

MONO_DEBUG=explicit-null-checks ./XNAWebRenderer.bin.osx
