Configuring 6.2 for WebAssembly debugging

[Kill-Animals]

Following https://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qt6-dev/wasm.html

Which prescribes:

./configure -qt-host-path /path/to/Qt/6.2.0/platform -xplatform wasm-emscripten -prefix $PWD/qtbase

and

Source maps for stepping through code, can be created by reconfiguring Qt with the --device-option QT_WASM_SOURCE_MAP=1, and building a debug build.

Lead to this:

./configure -qt-host-path /home/anon/Library/qt6.2 -xplatform wasm-emscripten -debug -prefix $PWD/qtbase -device-option QT_WASM_SOURCE_MAP=1

Which produced this, and a similar error on 6.1

When looking for the file, a Readme states:

If this directory is empty, you probably forgot to compile the Qt library.

I am not sure what to do.

I figured out what was wrong. I needed this command instead:

./configure -qt-host-path /home/anon/Library/qt6.2/qtbase -xplatform wasm-emscripten -debug -prefix $PWD/qtbase -device-option QT_WASM_SOURCE_MAP=1

[Kill-Animals]

Okay it compiles, but it ends up with the wrong ABI.

Did you build the qt6.2 host libraries?

You might need to also specify the emscripten toolchain file path
-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE='$HOME'/emsdk/upstream/emscripten/cmake/Modules/Platform/Emscripten.cmake'

Or where ever it is

[Kill-Animals]

Did you build the qt6.2 host libraries?

I do not believe so, but I'm not sure what the host libraries are supposed to be.

-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE='$HOME'/emsdk/upstream/emscripten/cmake/Modules/Platform/Emscripten.cmake'

I'll give it another shot.

[Kill-Animals]

It did not work. I used this line to configure:

./configure -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE='$HOME'/Library/emsdk/upstream/emscripten/cmake/Modules/Platform/Emscripten.cmake -qt-host-path /home/anon/Library/qt6.2/qtbase -xplatform wasm-emscripten -debug -prefix $PWD/qtbase -device-option QT_WASM_SOURCE_MAP=1

When I upload the Qt version into QtCreator, the ABI is always

x86-linux-generic-elf-64bit

Instead of

asmjs-unknown-unknown-emscripten-32bit

Preventing any build.
