getting started with enscripten

Please make sure you have python 2.7 above installed in your computer. And git too.

git clone https://github.com/juj/emsdk.git

Next, type python to make sure you have it your path. 

cd emsdk

emsdk.bat install latest


emsdk activate latest


If you type emcc on your command prompt you should be able see some program running asking for file input. This file is located inside the following path :- emsdk\emscripten\1.38.20


Save the following into a file called test.c

#include 

int main() {
  printf("hello, world!\n");
  return 0;
}

Next compile it using the following command :-

emcc test.c -o test\hello.html


Since we can't see html files from our browser directly, we can spin up an instance of a web server using python.

cd test

Some tutorial might ask you to run using python but you can directly use the following exe called emrun

emrun --no_browser --port 8080 .

Then browse to http://localhost:8080/hello.html
