# WebAssembly / WASI port of Ruby
## How to cross-build
### Requirement
- Ruby (the same version as the building target version) (baseruby)
- GNU make
- [WASI SDK](https://github.com/WebAssembly/wasi-sdk) 14.0 or later
- [Binaryen](https://github.com/WebAssembly/binaryen) version 106 or later
- Linux or macOS build machine
### Steps
1. Download a prebuilt WASI SDK package from [WASI SDK release page](https://github.com/WebAssembly/wasi-sdk/releases).
2. Set `WASI_SDK_PATH` environment variable to the root directory of the WASI SDK package.
```console
$ export WASI_SDK_PATH=/path/to/wasi-sdk-X.Y
```
3. Download a prebuilt binaryen from [Binaryen release page](https://github.com/WebAssembly/binaryen/releases)
4. Set PATH environment variable to lookup binaryen tools
```console
$ export PATH=path/to/binaryen:$PATH
```
5. Download the latest `config.guess` with WASI support, and run `./autogen.sh` to generate configure when you
are building from the source checked out from Git repository
```console
$ ruby tool/downloader.rb -d tool -e gnu config.guess config.sub
$ ./autogen.sh
```
6. Configure
- You can select which extensions you want to build.
- If you got `Out of bounds memory access` while running the produced ruby, you may need to increase the maximum size of stack.
```console
$ ./configure LDFLAGS="-Xlinker -zstack-size=16777216" \
--host wasm32-unknown-wasi \
--with-destdir=./ruby-wasm32-wasi \
--with-static-linked-ext \
--with-ext=ripper,monitor
```
7. Make
```console
$ make install
```
Now you have a WASI compatible ruby binary. You can run it by any WebAssembly runtime like [`wasmtime`](https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime), [`wasmer`](https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer), [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/api/wasi.html), or browser with [WASI polyfill](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@wasmer/wasi).
Note: it may take a long time (~20 sec) for the first time for JIT compilation
```
$ wasmtime ruby-wasm32-wasi/usr/local/bin/ruby --mapdir /::./ruby-wasm32-wasi/ -- -e 'puts RUBY_PLATFORM'
wasm32-wasi
```
## Current Limitation
- No `Thread` support for now.
- Spawning a new process is not supported. e.g. `Kernel.spawn` and `Kernel.system`
