Desktop

Instructions to get started with Skia on desktop systems (Linux, Mac OS X, or Windows).

Download Skia

git clone 'https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git'
export PATH="${PWD}/depot_tools:${PATH}"
git clone 'https://skia.googlesource.com/skia.git'
cd skia

(On Windows without git, swap steps 1 and 2)

Install system-specific prerequisites.
- Linux
- Mac OS X
- Windows

Sync dependencies and config. Build. Run tests.

python bin/sync-and-gyp
ninja -C out/Debug
out/Debug/dm

Gyp Options

Skia relies on Gyp to generate build files. Read about specifying options for Gyp to set the compile-time settings, compiler, build systems, and build directory.

Run unit and correctness tests

DM ("diamond master") is the Skia test app.

ninja -C out/Debug dm
out/Debug/dm

Run Skia samples

SampleApp is the Skia sample program.

ninja -C out/Debug SampleApp
out/Debug/SampleApp

Build non-debug binaries

The usual mode you want for testing is Debug mode (SK_DEBUG is defined, and debug symbols are included in the binary). If you would like to build the Release mode:

ninja -C out/Release

Performance tests

Build and run nanobench (performance tests). In this case, we will build with the "Release" configuration, since we are running performance tests.

ninja -C out/Release nanobench
out/Release/nanobench
out/Release/nanobench --skps .../path/to/*.skp

Keeping up to date

git fetch origin
git checkout origin/master
