“Unfortunately several browsers (including Chrome, Safari, and Internet Explorer) do not support file:// XHR requests, and can’t load extra files needed by the HTML (like a .wasm file, or packaged file data as mentioned lower down). For these browsers you’ll need to serve the files using a local webserver and then open http://localhost:8000/hello.html.”Emscripten SDK has a handy emrun
command: emrun web/example_emscripten_opengl3.html --browser firefox
which will spawn a temporary local webserver (in Firefox). See https://emscripten.org/docs/compiling/Running-html-files-with-emrun.html for details.You may use Python 3 builtin webserver: python -m http.server -d web
(this is what make serve
uses).You may use Python 2 builtin webserver: cd web && python -m SimpleHTTPServer
.If you are accessing the files over a network, certain browsers, such as Firefox, will restrict Gamepad API access to secure contexts only (e.g. https only).Obsolete features:
- Emscripten 2.0 (August 2020) obsoleted the fastcomp backend, only llvm is supported.
- Emscripten 1.39.0 (October 2019) obsoleted the
BINARYEN_TRAP_MODE=clamp
compilation flag which was required with version older than 1.39.0 to avoid rendering artefacts. See #2877 for details. If you use an older version, uncomment this line in the Makefile: #EMS += -s BINARYEN_TRAP_MODE=clamp
