When building R packages with compress set to TRUE, use the binary R package .tgz file for the Emscripten filesystem image data and generate custom metadata rather than using Emscripten's file_packager tool.
Support for a new compress argument in file_packager(), make_vfs_library(), and other related functions. When enabled, VFS images will be compressed using gzip (#39).
Note: Mounting processed .tgz archives or compressed VFS images requires at least version 0.4.2 of webR.
Added a mechanism to override AC_CHECK_FUNCS with Autoconf (#32).
Shim uname and pkg-config when cross-compiling (#9).
Added documentation.
The dependencies argument in add_pkg() is now FALSE by default.
Made CXX17 the default (#12).
Packages using OpenMP can now be cross-compiled (#17).
Prevent packages from accessing the host LIBS (#10).
Use a default shell when running configure scripts (#8).
Various tweaks and bug fixes for cross-compiling on Linux host.
Makefile workflow. Users relying on the old workflow will need to rewrite their processes to work using the new rwasm R package.
