Skia library used by canvex for rendering VCS graphics.
It's a complex dependency that uses Google's proprietary toolchain, so we provide prebuilt static libraries for each target (in lib-static).
Follow the Skia download instructions in:
https://skia.org/docs/user/download/
On the top level, you'll have three directories:
- depot_tools
- skia
- gn_out
The first two are the repos that you pull in the "download" step linked above. gn_out is where the build products go.
When you've pulled the skia repo, don't forget these steps:
python3 tools/git-sync-deps
bin/fetch-ninja
The Skia build instructions are at https://skia.org/docs/user/build/ - but you shouldn't need to read these!
We provide a preconfigured build script under skia-config in this repo. So, go to your skia repo and copy the script into place:
cp {YOUR REPO}/pluot-core/vcs/server-render/canvex/canvex-skia/skia-config/canvex_skia_config_macos.sh .
...or for Linux, use the _linux version of the script.
Then run the script in the skia repo dir:
./canvex_skia_config_macos.sh
It should configure the build and give you instructions for what to do next.
The config scripts (like canvex_skia_config_macos.sh) are fixed to a commit id.
For the canvex C++ build, we provide a copy of the Skia include folder in this repo. It contains the C++ headers that match the Skia commit id.
If you're upgrading the library to a new version, you should:
- Update the commit id in all the scripts in
skia-config - Copy new versions of all the headers from
skia/includeinto theincludedir here
