This is an Emscripten-compatible port of GLib 2.75.0. The port mostly works. However, some parts that are incompatible with Emscripten are either no-ops, or will fail at runtime. Do not use this in production until you've thoroughly tested your use-case.
The bulk of the work was done by @kleisauke in their excellent patch here.
This branch adds even more fixes and re-enables more components (like gregex).
It is helpful to have a common installation prefix for Emscripten libraries. You can then set
PKG_CONFIG_PATH to point to that directory's lib/pkgconfig. Packages can then reference each
other seamlessly during compilation.
The build instructions below install Emscripten libraries in $HOME/emlib.
The build instructions also enable
WASM_BIGINTby default. Remove references to-sWASM_BIGINTif you do not want to have it enabled.

First, setup the project. Use the $HOME/emlib directory that we've used to install dependencies as
both the target directory, and the pkgconfig path. Then, only build the static version of the
library, reference the Meson cross-file, and disable some unnecessary
components.
export EM_PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$HOME/emlib/lib/pkconfig"
CFLAGS="pthread -O3" LDFLAGS="-pthread -O3 -sWASM_BIGINT" meson setup _build \
--prefix="HOME/emlib" \

meson install -C _build
