IIRC the Windows command shell doesn't do wildcard expansion -- CLI programs are expected to handle this themselves. Totally opposite from the Unix way of course. :)
It should be possible to run the emscripten commands from a unix-style bash shell (installed from mingw32 or cygwin); alternately just manually listing out the files to a loooong command in a batch file should work. -- brion On Mar 24, 2015 3:22 PM, "Alon Zakai" <[email protected]> wrote: > I know very little about windows, so I might be wrong here.
