A library to create Windows, macOS, and Linux applications.
This library is under active development so we don't provide API or ABI compatibility at this moment.
laf can be compiled with two back-ends (LAF_BACKEND
): skia
or none
.
When LAF_BACKEND=skia
, laf requires a compiled version of the Skia library from branch aseprite-m124
. You can check the aseprite/skia fork which includes a release with pre-built versions, or the check the instructions to compile skia from scratch.
When LAF_BACKEND=none
, the Pixman library can be used as an alternative implementation of the gfx::Region
class (generally if you're using laf-os
you will link it with Skia, so there is no need for Pixman at all).
To compile laf with Skia as backend you have to specify some variables pointing to a valid compiled version of Skia in your disk. In the following example /skiadir
is the absolute path to a directory where the Skia source code + compiled version is, or just where you've uncompressed a pre-built package of Skia (note that in this case /skiadir/out/Release-x64
should contain the Skia library files, i.e. skia.lib
on Windows or libskia.a
on other platforms):
git clone --recursive https://github.com/aseprite/laf.git
cd laf
cmake -G Ninja -S . -B build \
-DLAF_BACKEND=skia \
-DSKIA_DIR=/skiadir \
-DSKIA_LIBRARY_DIR=/skiadir/out/Release-x64
cmake --build build
build/examples/helloworld
To compile only the library (without examples and tests) you can disable the LAF_WITH_EXAMPLES
/LAF_WITH_TESTS
options:
cmake -DLAF_WITH_EXAMPLES=OFF -DLAF_WITH_TESTS=OFF ...
You can use ctest
to run all tests:
laf is distributed under the terms of the MIT license.
Some functions in laf depends on third party libraries (you should include these license notices when you distribute your software):
gfx::Region
, and the laf::os
library use code from the Skia library by Google Inc. licensed under a BSD-like license and several other third-party libraries/licenses.gfx::Region
uses the Pixman library if you are not compiling with the Skia backend on Linux or macOS (e.g. if you want to create Command Line utilities that use the gfx::Region
class). On Windows we use an alternative implementation with HRGN. Pixman is distributed under the MIT License.RetroSearch is an open source project built by @garambo | Open a GitHub Issue
