Tor Lillqvist c944348ad7 Adapt to newer Emscripten SDK
Newer Emscripten SDKs no longer provide <sys/epoll.h> and
<sys/inotify.h>. The corresponding functionality is not present, I
assume.

Until now we have been using Emscripten SDK 2.0.31 and that is still
the recommended known-to-work version, but I am experimenting with the
latest, 3.1.30.

= WASM with emscripten =
Building for WASM with emscripten is still a bit immature and many projects
need patching to work.
Note that there are wrapper tools like "emconfigure", "emmake", "emcmake" that
tend to set up environment variables like CC properly, although some project's
build system unfortunately override that.
Linking WASM executable uses a lot of memory; without optimisations or with -O1
in LDFLAGS, /usr/bin/time prints "1660068maxresident" which should work
anywhere, but with -O2 in LDFLAGS (which is the default) some LTO happens that
uses about 8x as much RAM, "12261016maxresident" or ~12 GiB... so append
CXXFLAGS='-g -O1' or similar to the configure invocation if out of memory.
For convenience it's recommended to build with a docker container that has the
required build tools.
podman pull public.ecr.aws/allotropia/libo-builders/wasm
== Build LO core ==
First you need to build LibreOffice core with emscripten.
Currently best to use "feature/wasm" branch.
These examples assume that the git repo is in $HOME/lo/feature_wasm, the build
directory in /data/lo/build_feature_wasm and the tarball download cache in
$HOME/lo/ext_sources - adjust these to your preferences.
podman run -v $HOME/lo/feature_wasm:$HOME/lo/feature_wasm:ro -v /data/lo/build_feature_wasm:/data/lo/build_feature_wasm -v $HOME/lo/ext_sources:/ext_sources:rw --security-opt=label=disable -ti public.ecr.aws/allotropia/libo-builders/wasm /bin/bash -c "source /home/builder/emsdk/emsdk_env.sh && cd /data/lo/build_feature_wasm/ && $HOME/lo/feature_wasm/autogen.sh --with-external-tar=/ext_sources --with-distro=LibreOfficeWASM32"
podman run -v $HOME/lo/feature_wasm:$HOME/lo/feature_wasm:ro -v /data/lo/build_feature_wasm:/data/lo/build_feature_wasm -v $HOME/lo/ext_sources:/ext_sources:rw --security-opt=label=disable -ti public.ecr.aws/allotropia/libo-builders/wasm /bin/bash -c "source /home/builder/emsdk/emsdk_env.sh && cd /data/lo/build_feature_wasm/ && make -rj8"
== Build Online using dependencies from container ==
The container contains prebuilt libzstd and POCO for convenience.
Note that here the LO core (and builddir, if separate) must be mapped to the
same directory in the container as it was when building core, due to files
containing absolute paths.
podman run -v $HOME/lo/feature_wasm:$HOME/lo/feature_wasm:ro -v /data/lo/build_feature_wasm:/data/lo/build_feature_wasm:ro -v $HOME/lo/online:$HOME/lo/online:rw -v /data/lo/build_online_wasm:/data/lo/build_online_wasm:rw --security-opt=label=disable -ti public.ecr.aws/allotropia/libo-builders/wasm /bin/bash -c "source /home/builder/emsdk/emsdk_env.sh && cd /data/lo/build_online_wasm/ && $HOME/lo/online/autogen.sh && emconfigure $HOME/lo/online/configure --with-lokit-path=$HOME/lo/feature_wasm/include --with-lo-path=/data/lo/build_feature_wasm/instdir --with-lo-builddir=/data/lo/build_feature_wasm --with-zstd-includes=/usr/local/include --with-zstd-libs=/usr/local/lib --with-poco-includes=/usr/local/include --with-poco-libs=/usr/local/lib --host=wasm32-local-emscripten"

== Build Online dependencies manually ==
Then build libzstd:
* with assembly code disabled
* using the Makefile (didn't try its other build systems)
tar -xzvf ~/Downloads/zstd-1.5.2.tar.gz
cd zstd-1.5.2/
podman run -v /data/lo/zstd-1.5.2:/data/lo/zstd-1.5.2:rw --security-opt=label=disable -ti public.ecr.aws/allotropia/libo-builders/wasm /bin/bash -c 'source /home/builder/emsdk/emsdk_env.sh && cd /data/lo/zstd-1.5.2/ && emmake make -j8 lib-nomt ZSTD_NO_ASM=1'
Then build POCO:
* this requires two patches (currently exists patch for 1.12.4 and untested "devel"
branch) plus renaming one source file (which actually is from expat but Poco includes)
* note that the header Poco/Platform.h maps EMSCRIPTEN to POCO_OS_LINUX
* it has both Makefiles and CMake but i couldn't get CMake to use CXXFLAGS to
disable some Linux-specific code; i tried variations on:
emcmake cmake -S .. -DENABLE_MONGODB=off -DENABLE_DATA_SQLITE=off -DENABLE_REDIS=off -DENABLE_PROMETHEUS=off -DENABLE_PDF=off -DENABLE_SEVENZIP=off -DENABLE_ZIP=off -DENABLE_CPPPARSER=off -DENABLE_POCODOC=off -DENABLE_PAGECOMPILER=off -DENABLE_PAGECOMPILER_FILE2PAGE=off -DENABLE_ACTIVERECORD=off -DENABLE_ACTIVERECORD_COMPILER=off -DENABLE_DATA=off -DENABLE_DATA_ODBC=off -DENABLE_DATA_POSTGRESQL=off -DENABLE_DATA_MYSQL=off -DENABLE_APACHECONNECTOR=off -DENABLE_JWT=off CXXFLAGS=-DPOCO_NO_LINUX_IF_PACKET_H
* Online requires a single include directory so "make install" must be used

Then build Online itself:

same directory in the container as it was when building core, due to files
containing absolute paths.
