Compiling PlugData with Emscripten? #331

Open Jonathhhan opened 1 year ago

Jonathhhan commented 1 year ago

I wonder if that is possible (and I guess it likely is)... At least PD (libpd) runs with Emscripten and JUCE too. Recently I worked on optimizing Open Frameworks for Emscripten, I am not an expert, but maybe I could help here and there...

I wasn't aware that JUCE could run with emscripten! It would be very cool to make that work.

I have created an emscripten audio app once with iPlug2, but the iPlug2 build system took care of all the hard parts, so this will definitely be a challenge for me.

I don't have time for this right now, but I want to look at this eventually. If you have time to look at this, it would be cool, otherwise I'll have a look later. I can answer any questions you have about plugdata's build system and structure if needed. You'll probably have to disable the [sfont~] object at least.

Looks like you need a fork of JUCE, like this one:

https://github.com/Dreamtonics/juce_emscripten/

So then I'd probably also have to modify some things because the JUCE API has changed since then.

Thank you. Its also not my priority at the moment, just had the idea a few days ago (and maybe will come back to it)... And I really like the PlugData approach.

libpd now compiles with emscripten since .55
