visual studio 2022 integration

[alecie]

In the documentation there is only a mention about vs2010.

How would it be possible to integrate emscripten build into visual studio 2022?

AFAIK the VS integration is abandoned (and debugging didn't work anyway, which IMHO would be the most important feature of an IDE integration).

For myself, I have cobbled together Emscripten + VSCode support via my cmake wrapper 'fips' (https://floooh.github.io/fips/) (only for building though, no debugging either - but with fips I can easily switch between Emscripten and native build configs, and debugging happens on a native build), I think with the new 'cmake presets' feature (https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake-presets.7.html) it should be possible to do the same with builtin cmake features (if that feature would have been available when starting with fips it would have saved me a lot of work).

The ingredients would basically be the cmake toolchain file which comes in the Emscripten SDK (https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/blob/main/cmake/Modules/Platform/Emscripten.cmake), a CMakePresets.json file which defines a cmake preset which uses this toolchain file, and maybe the "CMake Tools" extension for VSCode (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cmake-tools) - not sure though if this extension already has builtin support for cmake presets.

This still would only provide support for building though, not debugging. But with cmake-presets it should be easy to switch between an Emscripten build config and a native build config (where the native build config could be used for debugging).

Cheers!
