Apparently hard to build.

It's not the most fun project to build, but not that hard following the directions here: https://skia.org/user/build.

I've even been able to get it to build on a Pi (although that took more elbow-grease).

Also, if you're using Rust, the rust-skia [0] project provides prebuilt binaries for a bunch of platforms and using it is as simple as putting it in your Cargo.toml.

It used to be really hard, though I believe there's now experimental cmake support. Vcpkg has it, so if you're using that, it's much easier.
