Skia Builder

This repository contains tools and scripts to build a static version of Skia library in a form that can be referenced from a regular CMake or Makefile project.

For Linux it uses our cross-compilation Docker image based on Clang 20 with various sysroots

Building

Initial preparations and Skia version

1. point skia submodule to the version of skia you need to build
2. add depot_tools to your shell's PATH
3. run `python3 tools/git-sync-deps

Headers

Run ./scripts/build.py headers

Linux

Run ./scripts/build-linux.sh <arch>, where arch is x64, arm64 or all

macOS & Windows

Run ./scripts/build.py <os> <arch> [--self-contained] [--debug], where:

• <os> is macos, darwin, mac, windows, or win
• <arch> is x64, arm64, or all
• --debug produces a debug build (defaults to release)

Usage

The scripts will produce a Skia build with static libraries in artifacts/<os>_<arch> with skia.h specific for that skia configuration. Skia headers extracted from Skia are in artifacts/headers. You need to include both of those in your include search path.

When linking your application, link with the static libraries from artifacts/<os>_<arch> (you might want to use --Wl,--start-group and --Wl,--end-group around those to resolve any circular dependencies).
