To install SkiaSharp native assets for ARM64, you'll need to ensure your project is set up to target the correct runtime identifier (RID) and then add the necessary NuGet packages. Specifically, you'll want to use the linux-arm64 RID and install the SkiaSharp native assets packages for Linux and specifically those without dependencies.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
Set the target framework and RID:
In your project file (e.g., MyProject.csproj), add or modify the <TargetFramework> and <RuntimeIdentifier> elements:
Code
<TargetFramework>net7.0</TargetFramework> <!-- Or your target framework -->
<RuntimeIdentifier>linux-arm64</RuntimeIdentifier>
1. Install the SkiaSharp native assets packages:
Use the NuGet Package Manager to install the following packages:
SkiaSharp.NativeAssets.Linux (or SkiaSharp.NativeAssets.Linux.NoDependencies if you prefer to not depend on external font config packages).
If you're using a custom runtime, you might also need SkiaSharp.NativeAssets.Linux.NoDependencies or SkiaSharp.NativeAssets.Linux.
2. Build and test:
Build your project and ensure that it compiles and runs correctly on your ARM64 target.
You may need to adjust your Dockerfile or other deployment configuration to include the necessary Linux packages if using SkiaSharp.NativeAssets.Linux.
Important considerations:
Dependencies:
If you choose SkiaSharp.NativeAssets.Linux, ensure your container or deployment environment has the necessary libraries (e.g., libfontconfig1, libGLX, etc.).
Linux Distributions:
If you're targeting a specific Linux distribution, you might need to adjust the RID accordingly (e.g., linux-musl-arm64 for Alpine Linux).
Containers:
If you're running your application in a container, you'll need to include the SkiaSharp native assets within the container image.
VS Code:
If you're using VS Code and are deploying a container, make sure the workspace is in the container and that you can see the full file system structure of the container.
By following these steps, you can successfully install and use SkiaSharp's native assets on your ARM64 target
