# Emscripten

(This documentation is not very robust; we will update and expand this later.)

## A quick note about audio
|
|
|
|
Modern web browsers will not permit web pages to produce sound before the
|
|
user has interacted with them; this is for several reasons, not the least
|
|
of which being that no one likes when a random browser tab suddenly starts
|
|
making noise and the user has to scramble to figure out which and silence
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
To solve this, most browsers will refuse to let a web app use the audio
|
|
subsystem at all before the user has interacted with (clicked on) the page
|
|
in a meaningful way. SDL-based apps also have to deal with this problem; if
|
|
the user hasn't interacted with the page, SDL_OpenAudioDevice will fail.
|
|
|
|
There are two reasonable ways to deal with this: if you are writing some
|
|
sort of media player thing, where the user expects there to be a volume
|
|
control when you mouseover the canvas, just default that control to a muted
|
|
state; if the user clicks on the control to unmute it, on this first click,
|
|
open the audio device. This allows the media to play at start, the user can
|
|
reasonably opt-in to listening, and you never get access denied to the audio
|
|
device.
|
|
|
|
Many games do not have this sort of UI, and are more rigid about starting
|
|
audio along with everything else at the start of the process. For these, your
|
|
best bet is to write a little Javascript that puts up a "Click here to play!"
|
|
UI, and upon the user clicking, remove that UI and then call the Emscripten
|
|
app's main() function. As far as the application knows, the audio device was
|
|
available to be opened as soon as the program started, and since this magic
|
|
happens in a little Javascript, you don't have to change your C/C++ code at
|
|
all to make it happen.
|
|
|
|
Please see the discussion at https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/6385
|
|
for some Javascript code to steal for this approach.

## Building SDL/emscripten
|
|
|
|
SDL currently requires at least Emscripten 2.0.32 to build. Newer versions
|
|
are likely to work, as well.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Build:
|
|
|
|
$ mkdir build
|
|
$ cd build
|
|
$ emconfigure ../configure --host=asmjs-unknown-emscripten --disable-assembly --disable-threads --disable-cpuinfo CFLAGS="-O2"
|
|
$ emmake make
|
|
|
|
Or with cmake:
|
|
|
|
$ mkdir build
|
|
$ cd build
|
|
$ emcmake cmake ..
|
|
$ emmake make
|
|
|
|
To build one of the tests:
|
|
|
|
$ cd test/
|
|
$ emcc -O2 --js-opts 0 -g4 testdraw2.c -I../include ../build/.libs/libSDL2.a ../build/libSDL2_test.a -o a.html
|
|
|
|
Uses GLES2 renderer or software
|
|
|
|
Some other SDL2 libraries can be easily built (assuming SDL2 is installed somewhere):
|
|
|
|
SDL_mixer (http://www.libsdl.org/projects/SDL_mixer/):
|
|
|
|
$ EMCONFIGURE_JS=1 emconfigure ../configure
|
|
build as usual...
|
|
|
|
SDL_gfx (http://cms.ferzkopp.net/index.php/software/13-sdl-gfx):
|
|
|
|
$ EMCONFIGURE_JS=1 emconfigure ../configure --disable-mmx
|
|
build as usual...
