Python WebAssembly (WASM) build

This directory contains configuration and helpers to facilitate cross compilation of CPython to WebAssembly (WASM).

wasm32-emscripten build

Cross compiling to wasm32-emscripten platform needs the Emscripten tool chain and a build Python interpreter. All commands below are relative to a repository checkout.

Compile a build Python interpreter

mkdir -p builddir/build
pushd builddir/build
../../configure -C
make -j$(nproc)
popd

Fetch and build additional emscripten ports

embuilder build zlib

Cross compile to wasm32-emscripten

mkdir -p builddir/emscripten
pushd builddir/emscripten

CONFIG_SITE=../../Tools/wasm/config.site-wasm32-emscripten \
  emconfigure ../../configure -C \
    --host=wasm32-unknown-emscripten \
    --build=$(../../config.guess) \
    --with-build-python=$(pwd)/../build/python

emmake make -j$(nproc) python.html
