Compiling CLIPS to WASM

Description

I used this process to compile a WASM file for CLIPS. This allows me to run CLIPS in the browser! I use this for the Tour of CLIPS I created.

How to Use

1. Download and Install Emscripten
2. Download the CLIPS source code
3. tar xvf clips_core_source_640.tar.gz
4. cd clips_core_source_640/core
5. patch makefile makefile.diff
6. make

makefile.diff
