I'd like to build SKIA[1] as a static library and interface it 
with D.
However it's hard to build, I don't get anything to their build 
system, you need 'gen' to generate a 'ninja' file so you must 
build 'gen' but to build 'gen' you must..., wtf is this cluster 
fuck...

Thanks for your help.

I have built it back when it still used gyp.  I believe what you 
need to do is

1. Install depot_tools: 
http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/install-depot-tools

2. Use gclient from depot_tools to get skia: 
https://skia.org/user/download

3. Use gclient to get gn and build skia: 
https://skia.org/user/build

They give you all the steps, but it's confusing if you haven't 
done it before and don't read them carefully.  Just follow their 
exact instructions in those three pages and you should be set up.

Thanks. But step 1 yet looks like a complete charlie foxtrot (I 
clone it but nothing is build. So glicent...well goodnight...)

I'll try this tomorrow.
