Building MLIR through Emscripten

Goal: built mlir-opt through emscripten to run it interactively from documentation websites.

References:

Notes:

Set up emsdk following those docs (run source ./emsdk_env.sh)

Build host tools to ./build/:

cmake -G Ninja -B ./build/ -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS=mlir -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release llvm/.
cmake --build ./build/ --target mlir-opt

(Could also build without --target)

Configure for emscripten to ./build-emscripten/.

Note: we want to use the host tablegen and other tools throughout the build. Emscripten or LLVM creates a NATIVE/ folder and tries to run tools from there... but the "executable binaries" in that directory are JavaScript files... which obviously can't be executed in a shell environment.

emcmake cmake -G Ninja -B ./build-emscripten/ -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS=mlir -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=./install-emscripten/ -DLLVM_TABLEGEN=$PWD/build/bin/llvm-tblgen -DMLIR_TABLEGEN_EXE=$PWD/build/bin/mlir-tblgen -DLLVM_TOOLS_BINARY_DIR=$PWD/build/bin/ -Wno-dev llvm/.

** weird stuff happens here **

try building:

cmake --build ./build-emscripten --target mlir-opt

see errors about llvm-tblgen, mlir-tblgen, etc.

copy from host build to NATIVE/ folder:

cp ./build/bin/llvm-tblgen ./build-emscripten/NATIVE/bin && chmod +x build-emscripten/NATIVE/bin/llvm-tblgen
cp ./build/bin/mlir-tblgen ./build-emscripten/NATIVE/bin && chmod +x build-emscripten/NATIVE/bin/mlir-tblgen
cp ./build/bin/mlir-linalg-ods-gen ./build-emscripten/NATIVE/bin && chmod +x build-emscripten/NATIVE/bin/mlir-linalg-ods-gen
cp ./build/bin/mlir-linalg-ods-yaml-gen ./build-emscripten/NATIVE/bin && chmod +x build-emscripten/NATIVE/bin/mlir-linalg-ods-yaml-gen

try building again:

cmake --build ./build-emscripten --target mlir-opt

success ?

ls -la build-emscripten/bin

(should have mlir-opt.js and mlir-opt.wasm, among other files)
