Instructions

Compiling the compiler

Get the sources:

 git clone https://github.com/skalogryz/freepascal fpc-wasm

switch to correct branch:

 cd fpc-wasm
 git checkout webasm

compile:

 cd compiler
 

Using Lazarus

 open ppcwasm.lpi

hit the "compile" button.

Using command-line
 fpc -dnoopt -dwasm -Fiwasm -Fuwasm -Fusystems -S2 pp.pas 

the compiler can be renamed

 mv pp ppwasm

or, on windows:

 mv pp.exe ppwasm.exe

Using the compiler

You need a system.pas unit. It can be found here:

wasm-demo

You'll also need the wasm tools:

wasm tools

Extract the binaries and put them somewhere in your path.

wasm-demo

Wasm-demo is a Pascal WebAssembly demo project, ported Google's C WebAssembly example (https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/web-assembly-intro)

You follow these steps in order to get the demo project working:

1. Get the project sources: https://github.com/skalogryz/wasm-demo

Using in webassembly.studio

2. Run the wasm compiler against lyff.pas, but request the assembler file to be kept

 pp -a lyff.pas

Webassembly.studio accepts the assembler file and would compile it on the server side.

3. open up https://webassembly.studio and select "Create empty Wat Project". The project will consist of:

main.html
main.js
main.wat

All files of the project can be edited through the web interface.

4. Copy and paste the contents of the following files:

(compiled) lyff.wat to main.wat.
wasm-demo\webassembly.studio\main.html to main.html
wasm-demo\webassembly.studio\main.js to main.js

Note: every time you copy and paste, don't forget to press "SAVE" button (on the right side of the web interface)

5. once all files are update, hit "Build and Run"
