Fuck, I hate to "actually..." you, but emscripten actually does do a tremendous amount of work with platform libs.

Examples: http://syntensity.blogspot.com/2011/05/emscripten-12-doom-on... https://github.com/kripken/emscripten/issues/331 https://github.com/kripken/emscripten/wiki/Filesystem-Guide

Why I know this: I spent a fair portion of winter break trying to port the R-project into Javascript. It went nowhere (damn fortan), but I learned a ton about emscripten and compiling.



I suspect however, that it doesn't support X11 and many of the other required libraries that are required by Emacs.

Also, don't feel bad about "actually..." ing me, I'd prefer to know the truth, than to think a falsehood.


The links you reference are mosly for OpenGL, SDL, and File I/O, which is a small part of what Emacs actually needs.
