-Native Client support is still incomplete:
-Native Client does not yet allow runtime code generation,
-so Go's many uses of closures do not work.
-
To try Native Client by running 4s (tetris) or 5s or Spacewar:
1. Build the Go distribution for your native system.
-2. Download Native Client and install it.
- http://nativeclient.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/native_client/documentation/getting_started.html
- * You can stop after step 4 on those instructions
- (the ./scons --prebuilt firefox_install).
+2. Download the Native Client SDK and install it.
+ http://code.google.com/p/nativeclient-sdk/wiki/HowTo_GetStarted
+ * You only need to do steps 1 and 2.
-3. (optional) Install "./build/native_client/scons-out/opt-*/staging/sel_ldr"
+3. Copy "./native_client*/toolchain/*/bin/sel_ldr"
from the Native Client distribution somewhere in your path as "nacl".
- This will let you run binaries using "nacl 8.out".
+ This will let you run binaries using "nacl -M 8.out".
+ The -M flag enables multithreaded access to the video library.
4. Build the Go distribution again, this time for Native Client:
cd $GOROOT/src
* If you are on a Mac, your dock will flicker as the "nacl" binary
starts and stops while the tests run. You can stop the tests at any time.
-5. Run "godoc --http=:5103".
- * This will run the godoc built for your host OS, not Native Client,
- because all-nacl.bash doesn't install a nacl godoc.
- * Note that there is a colon before the 5103 in the argument
- (shorthand for 0.0.0.0:5103).
- * The port must be 5103: that's the only port that Native Client
- trusts to run binaries from.
-
-6. Open Firefox and visit one of:
+5. Run the programs by using
+ nacl -M $GOROOT/src/pkg/exp/4s/8.out
+ nacl -M $GOROOT/src/pkg/exp/4s/8.5s
+ nacl -M $GOROOT/src/pkg/exp/spacewar/8.out
+
+6. If you have an old copy of the Native Client plugin, you may be
+ able to run the programs in your browser, by running
+ "godoc --http=:5103" and then visiting
* http://localhost:5103/src/pkg/exp/4s/4s.html
* http://localhost:5103/src/pkg/exp/4s/5s.html [sic]
* http://localhost:5103/src/pkg/exp/spacewar/spacewar.html

+ This usage is deprecated in favor of newere APIs in recent
+ releases of Native Client. More work will be necessary to support
+ interactive graphics when using those releases.
