Cannot compile the demo to wasm32-unknown-emscripten

[daanboer]

I am trying to compile the demo provided in this repository to the wasm32-unknown-emscripten target. According to #1121 this is simply done by issuing

cargo build --target wasm32-unknown-emscripten

in the demo directory. However, doing so results in an error: exception handling disabled, use '-fexceptions' to enable. Fortunately, this has already been reported in a comment in #1343, and I follow the solution posted in the linked issue #1317, so I run

CXXFLAGS="-DRUST_CXX_NO_EXCEPTIONS=ON" cargo build --target wasm32-unknown-emscripten

This fixes the previous error, but instead I am now greeted with linker errors:

error: linking with `emcc` failed: exit status: 1

I am not sure why this happens, it seems that perhaps some intermediate libraries are not compiled to wasm?
