Hi! I was very happy to discover the HTML5 w32 libraries, and compiled some C++ code that uses FMOD into a (single-threaded) web page using emscripten, linking in the HTML5 w32 libraries, and it worked really well… thanks for that.
I’ve also managed to get some C++ multithreading calls working, configuring the server to support SharedArrayBuffer and enabling pthreads in emscripten. I’d like to use FMOD’s w32 libraries with that code, too, even if FMOD only supports operation on the main thread.
Since one of the emscripten/WASM requirements is that all code linked together has pthreads enabled, I’m wondering if there’s a build of those libraries that has pthreads enabled so I can link them in.

yes there is! Just not released yet.
I have pthread support working and hopefully released in the next update. I am currently adding a W32 example myself to the example folder to show it working.

Hey, is there an update on this? Currently I’m telling the linker to ignore WASM features with `-Wl,--no-check-features` and wrapping all FMOD functions with an autogenerated function that calls `emscripten_proxy_sync(emscripten_proxy_get_system_queue(), emscripten_main_runtime_thread_id(), ...)`. I’m pretty sure this is losing a lot of performance though and was hoping real threaded builds would fix it at least partially.

hello 2.03.08 is out now with HTML5 pthread support. The docs will be updated shortly and have been rewritten to be more comprehensive regarding setup and libraries.
FMOD requires a window handle to start an AudioContext as well. If you are not starting fmod from the ‘main thread’ you can set FMOD.window and FMOD will use that instead.
