Uhhh try with meson instead

edit: need to pass -Ddefault_library=static

ERROR: ld.wasm does not support shared libraries.

edit2: nvm:

em++: error: lib_convert.a: Unknown format, not a static library!

[neheb]

What's the issue?

[1div0]

This was output to the developer console in Brave. Just a confirmation that Exiv2 library is executing via WebAssembly.

[neheb]

OK. The purpose of the meson build is simply to build the library. The goal is not to fully replace the CMake build. I have no idea whether or not it works properly.

[1div0]

Well, my intent was to make sure that WebAssembly can be built and viable option. Maybe even for 1.0. Thoughts?

[neheb]

Sure, why not.

I can’t help much with CMake though

[neheb]

I tried this again. Needs:

@@ -115,12 +115,6 @@ if host_machine.system() == 'windows' and get_option('default_library') != 'stat

   exiv2,

Maybe I should completely get rid of it. It doesn't even work for cmake.

meson ran with

meson --cross-file=em.txt -Ddefault_library=static em

em.txt:

[binaries]
c = 'emcc'
cpp = 'em++'
ar = 'emar'
nm = 'emnm'

[host_machine]
system = 'emscripten'
cpu_family = 'x86_64'
cpu = 'x86_64'
endian = 'little'

[neheb]

if you want to build the subprojects as well, -Dauto_features=enable and -DXXX:default_library=static for each subproject.

[neheb]

great, a bug in the wrap.

[neheb]

hmm tests don't compile

[neheb]

The reason for the tests is because gtest uses std::atomic. Might be fixed in a newer version of emscripten. Who knows.

[1div0]

Will check ASAP.
