I found the conversion to bitcode on a blog post, stackoverflow and the 
emscripten documentation (though the documentaton did not explicitly state 
CGAL in particular) 
Here are the corresponding links:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31214387/using-emscripten-with-cmake-in-a-simple-project
https://emscripten.org/docs/compiling/Building-Projects.html#using-libraries
https://adamrehn.com/articles/creating-javascript-bindings-for-c-cxx-libraries-with-emscripten/

I looked further into the problem and found that web assembly does not 
support rounding modes which might break most functions in CGAL. Do you 
know any work-around for this? I want to use CGAL for basic mesh-related 
computations in a hole detection and hole filling related project.
