Hi, I had a look yesterday at LLVM + emscripten, and I found surprisingly easier than what I would have expected to try compiling GNU APL. I say "try" because I got a few errors anyway. I am really new to these things, but as far as I can understand, LLVM is a low-level virtual machine, and emscripten allows to compile code for LLVM to Javascript. If you browse a little, you may find that many (even huge) well-known software can be used online from a web browser. I even saw a working version of Vim! I am not claiming it is the way to go, but I keep it in mind, and maybe one day I will be able to have a website with a javascript version of GNU APL in it. I agree anyway on the fact that the apache idea is probably the best way to go right now. Anyway, I encountered a few errors at the very final step of the building (linking), because 6 or 7 symbols were unknown to emscripten. I think that three among them only occur once in the shared-variable part of the code. Since such an attempt would anyway get rid of the shared-variable part, do you think it would be easy to do to discard shared-variable at initial "configure time" with some --without-shared-variable flag or whatever for fully disabling the sVar.cc part?
