    Build Skia for a bare-bones embedded Linux system. · f84722e4
    commit-bot@chromium.org authored
    Motivation:
    
        I have downloaded a barebones Linux system built for 64-bit ARM
        from linaro.org and a ARMv8 Foundation Model from arm.com to run
        it on.  This will let us build and test Skia on ARM64 before we
        aquire hardware to allow that.  This CL introduces the changes to
        the build files necessary to build Skia on a barebones embedded
        Linux system.  I tested it with the aarch64 GCC compiler provided
        by linaro.org.
    
    Changes:
    
        Add a "barelinux" target_os for the DEPS file.  Add an optional
        git download of zlib.
    
        Changes to gyp files: these changes abstract out libpng, libz, and
        giflib so that images.gyp doesn't know whether they are static or
        dynamically linked.  I also add the variables skia_giflib_static,
        skia_libpng_static, skia_zlib_static, and skia_freetype_static,
        all of which default to false but when set to true will override
        the behavior of the giflib, libpng, zlib, and freetype build
        targets to require them to build statically.  Also, the
        skia_no_fontconfig variable turns off use of the fontconfig service.
    
    	Scripts in platform_tools/barelinux/bin:
    
        arm64_download - this script downloads the Linaro's ARMv8 Aarch64
    	toolchain and minimal embedded Linux system as well as ARM's
    	foundation model.  The required files are mirrored on Google
    	Cloud.  The script then starts a emulated Arm64 Linux system in
    	the background.  After the boot is complete, you can SSH into the
    	system at port 8022 via user@localhost.  The SSH key will be
    	downloaded into the working directery as well.
    
    	download_deps - Uses gclient to download Skia's dependencies for a
        bare Linux system (the normal dependecies plus giflib, libpng, and
        zlib.)
    
    	barelinux_make - this script builds a version of skia that does
        not depend on external libraries, perfect for putting in an
        embedded system running Linux.  Assumes you have run download_deps
        first.
    
    To test:
        To build a barelinux target, use the barelinux_make script.
    
        To build for a armv8 system: skia_arch_type=arm arm_neon=0 armv7=1
        armv8=1 arm_thumb=0 skia_arch_width=64 and set the CC and CXX
        variables to point at the cross-compiler downloaded by
        arm64_download.
