Auto download Wasmer libs for module use

[ashtonmeuser]

Should download Wasmer libs (if required) when Godot Wasm used as a module i.e. in SCsub. Spawned from this comment. This may be a good opportunity to abstract the Wasmer lib download functionality already present in SConstruct.

You got the description of downloading Wasmer libraries correct.

Also note that windows supports both mingw and mvsc which corresponds to .a and .lib.

Pushed a fix in https://github.com/ashtonmeuser/godot-wasm/commit/aa4b49edc2bceafe229b559e23ca71ceac9ae7eb (Godot 3.x) and https://github.com/ashtonmeuser/godot-wasm/commit/e6bb0ee8ee2f0583295d73d23c4afa74c076a3f8 (Godot 4.x). The issue was that the Wasmer library wasn't being downloaded for the linuxbsd platform specified by Godot modules. The library download and default version are also now kept in a common file (utils.py) which should simplify maintaining the two branches.

Also addresses using a .a library suffix for MinGW. Note that the MVSC suffix is actually .dll.lib which seems to be specific for Wasmer.

@fire Lemme know if this will suffice and I'll close this issue.

Edit: For posterity's sake, here's the workflow being discussed.

This made me realize that the paths for Linux in the actual GDExtension file will probably be incorrect (should be .../linuxbsd/... instead of .../linux/...). Should compile but won't run. Away from my computer and can't fix right now. Just a heads up.

Ignore this. GDNative and GDExtension use linux platform and no library is created for Godot modules.

Doing a test now.

Made a pr for https://github.com/ashtonmeuser/godot-wasm/pull/23

Waiting for https://github.com/V-Sekai/godot/actions/runs/4880026588/jobs/8707264367

Some errors. I added a fix for the lib download but failing elsewhere.

Modified:

#ifndef WASM_API_EXTERN
#if defined(_WIN32) && !defined(__MINGW32__)
#define WASM_API_EXTERN __declspec(dllimport)
#else
#define WASM_API_EXTERN
#endif
#endif

In wasm.h to have a check for mingw.

I was able to launch on windows with the wasm.h changes.

Created #26 to capture failing MinGW build.

@fire Huge thanks for all of the feedback you've provided! I think I've addressed everything you mentioned. All outstanding tasks have been rolled into their own issues seeing as we've gone on a bit of a tangent here. Let me know if anything's been missed.

[fire]

I'm a bit tired, so I'll let you know when I do an update.

I believe you can use a hot patch on the wasmer includes. Like literally apply a diff.

[fire]

We can close this one though.

[ashtonmeuser]

No rush at all! Yeah I'm sure there are plenty of workarounds but figured I'd open a PR in case others faced the same issue. Closing this.
