UIWidgets Engine

Introduction

This is the engine code of UIWidgets.

How to Build Depedencies (Windows)

Build Skia

1. Install depot_tools

git clone 'https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git'

Add ${PWD}/depot_tools to PATH

2. Clone the skia Repo

git clone https://skia.googlesource.com/skia.git cd skia git checkout chrome/m85 python2 tools/git-sync-deps

3. Install LLVM

https://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html

4. Build skia

bin/gn gen out/Debug

Update out/Debug/args.gn with the following content:

clang_win = "C:\Program Files\LLVM"
cc = "clang"
cxx = "clang++"
is_debug = true
skia_use_angle = true
skia_use_egl = true
extra_cflags = [
  "/MTd",
  "-I../../third_party/externals/angle2/include",
]

ninja -C out/Debug -k 0

Ignore this error: "lld-link: error: could not open 'EGL': no such file or directory"

Build flutter fml

1. Setting up the Engine development environment

Follow https://github.com/flutter/flutter/wiki/Setting-up-the-Engine-development-environment

2. Compiling for Windows

Follow https://github.com/flutter/flutter/wiki/Compiling-the-engine#compiling-for-windows

3. Checkout flutter-1.17-candidate.5

cd engine/src/flutter
git checkout flutter-1.17-candidate.5
gclient sync -D

Apply the following diff:

diff --git a/fml/BUILD.gn b/fml/BUILD.gn
index 9b5626e78..da1322ce5 100644
--- a/fml/BUILD.gn
+++ b/fml/BUILD.gn

   ]
 }
+
+static_library("fml_lib") {
+  complete_static_lib = true
+  deps = [
+    "//flutter/fml",
+  ]
+}

set GYP_MSVS_OVERRIDE_PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community
cd engine/src
python ./flutter/tools/gn --unoptimized
ninja -C .\out\host_debug_unopt\ flutter/fml:fml_lib

Create symbolic

cd <uiwidigets_dir>\engine
cd third_party   \\ create the directory if not exists
mklink /D skia <SKIA_ROOT>

Flutter engine txt include skia header in this pattern 'third_party/skia/*', so without symbolic, the txt lib will include skia header file in flutter engine, instead of headers in skia repo.

Set ICU Data Enviroment Varaible

set UIWIDGETS_ICUDATA=<SKIA_ROOT>/out/Debug/icudtl.dat

Unity Editor need to run with those environment variables set.
