How to build skia's static library libskia.a or libskia.so

[Rohan]

Hi

I have a separate C++ project  where I want to use SKIA library. 

I have built SKIA  as per the instruction  here - how to build skia

Out\Static  doesn't have libskia.a which I can use in my C++ project.

Do I need to do all development within SKIA repo only?

Please suggest .

What do you see in the out/Static directory?

If you built it correctly there should be many .a files.

The build was successfull. I could also run the HelloWorld.cpp example that is placed within the skia repo.

I built it in out\Release on Windows and I see many .lib files

skia.lib, skottie.lib,skparaghraph.lib etc

The obj created within this folder has .stamp and .ninja files.

But there is no file with .a extension

This is the command I used on Windows

gn gen out/Release --args="is_official_build=true is_component_build=false skia_use_system_freetype2=false skia_use_system_libjpeg_turbo=false skia_use_system_zlib=false skia_use_system_harfbuzz=false skia_use_system_libpng=false skia_use_system_libwebp=false skia_use_system_expat=false skia_use_system_icu=false"

ninja -C out/Release

Static libraries on Windows typically have a .lib extension, rather than .a (which is more common on Linux and MacOS). skia.lib is the static library that you're looking for.
