wasm32-emscripten target

[dynnamitt]

I tried:

$ cd libs/zflecs
$ zig build test -Dtarget=wasm32-emscripten --sysroot $HOME/code/emsdk/upstream/

zig build-lib zflecs Debug wasm32-emscripten: error: error(compilation): clang failed with stderr: In file included from /home/kdm/code/zig/uber-graphen/zflecs/libs/flecs/flecs.c:19:

Has anyone tried wasm building on this lib alone ?

Others solving this:

1. https://www.reddit.com/r/Zig/comments/sdcafd/zig_emscripten/
2. Emscripten support: wasm & webgpu in browser zig-gamedev#309 (still open, and far too complex for me)
3. https://github.com/bluesillybeard/ZigAndRaylibSetup
4. Building for WebAssembly Not-Nik/raylib-zig#24

I think your sysroot path is wrong, it should be something like --sysroot path/to/emsdk/upstream/emscripten/cache/sysroot

Also some changes to zflecs build.zig would be required to build flecs C lib for emscripten using zig cc. You could try the following additions:

zflecs_c_cpp.defineCMacro("__EMSCRIPTEN__", "1");
zflecs_c_cpp.addIncludePath(.{
    .path = try std.fs.path.join(b.allocator, &.{ b.sysroot.?, "include" }),
});

Note: I haven't tried this myself
