Hi - thanks for the initial cef3 recipe. I've been taking a look at this
with a view to a cef3 recipe based on chromium.inc that I can use to
build for i.MX6 (the original recipe was failing to build for me)

I have this building now and was able to run cefsimple on i.MX6 although
I am unsure whether it's correctly using hardware acceleration and I
think it needs more work / cleanups.

I wish to use cefglue to wrap a Mono WebBrowser control around CEF3 and
there are a set of standard Chromium builds it supports to this end.

I can build Chromium 39.0.2171.95 and the current 40.0.2214.91 recipe
but when I go to 41.0.2272.104 which is supported by one of the newer
cefglue releases I get an error of this form:

| In file included from ../../v8/src/base/sys-info.cc:19:0:
| /usr/include/c++/4.8/limits:42:28: fatal error: bits/c++config.h: No
such file or directory
|  #include <bits/c++config.h>
|                             ^
| compilation terminated.
| ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

I'm using a fairly vanilla x64 Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS. It looks like some
kind of paths/sysroot issue with the host compiler settings. I see
googling that others have had similar issues with x64 hosts  but I can't
quite work out what to do.

Can anybody advise?

Thanks,

Alex
