On Windows, set up the environment as follows:
set TRY_SLANG_SOURCE_DIRECTORY_PATH=%userprofile%\source\try-slang
set TRY_SLANG_TARGET_DIRECTORY_PATH=%userprofile%\target\try-slang
In the following, it is also assumed that GNU Make and Python are in PATH.
Follow the setup instructions in docs/building.md for building slang-wasm in the Slang repository.
(E.g. setup shell for CMake and Emscripten, and setup the build.em output directory.)
The Wasm loader needs a running web server in the build target directory, in order to load .wasm files.
**NOTE: ** You do not need a shell with the full development environment set up, you just need Python and the TRY_SLANG_TARGET_DIRECTORY_PATH environment variable.
To start the server, run something like:
$ cd $TRY_SLANG_TARGET_DIRECTORY_PATH && python -m http.server 8000
To iterate on the website, make changes and build the website_runtime target, from a development environment shell:
$ make -f $TRY_SLANG_SOURCE_DIRECTORY_PATH/build.md website_runtime
Now load or reload localhost:8000 in your browser to see the results.
