This is the final piece in the puzzle to getting Mixxx to successfully launch in the browser1.
Emscripten provides a virtual file system as described in https://emscripten.org/docs/porting/files/packaging_files.html. Since our WASM binary is already pretty heavy (304M) I went with the preloading option for now, which bundles our
resdirectory in a singlemixxx.data(96M), located at/reswithin the virtual file system.qResourcePathis also updated to use this path when targeting Emscripten.Footnotes
Of course there is still a lot of work ahead to make this run well ↩
