Talk:Javascript Mess

Shouldn't prevent anyone else from doing so as well, but I'm going to give the whole "whang it into Emscripten and see what explodes" thing a shot over the next few days. Devesine 15:39, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

• current status: compiling, with some help from azakai and some headbanging. http://wizardmode.com/jsmess/logs/%23jsmess.11-04-17-12.log Devesine 23:17, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Emscripten attempt

Useful tips:

• Make sure you grab a fresh copy of llvm, clang, v8 (I'm not using spidermonkey yet) to point emscripten at
• Build a non-debug version of llvm+clang - it will probably save a *lot* of time (there are a lot of files to compile)
• Build v8 by doing `scons d8` - using console=readline (or possibly snapshot=on or visibility=default) seems to break emscripten's compilation ability
• You will need to build MAME/MESS natively, to have access to the tools ( cp mess-native/obj/osdmini/mess/build/* mess/obj/osdmini/mess/build )
• There are an awful lot of warnings that need to be made into non-errors to compile successfully - maybe some of them are indicitive of bugs in MAME/MESS?
