Emscripten needs Binaryen while compiling to wasm

[openingnow]

• ran brew update and can still reproduce the problem?
• ran brew doctor, fixed all issues and can still reproduce the problem?
• ran brew gist-logs <formula> (where <formula> is the name of the formula that failed) and included the output link?
• if brew gist-logs didn't work: ran brew config and brew doctor and included their output with your issue?

`brew config`, `brew doctor` output

$ brew doctor

Your system is ready to brew.

What you were trying to do (and why)

Compile simple Hello World program(C++)

#include <iostream>
int main()
{
	std::cout << "Hello Homebrew!\n";
}

What happened (include command output)

after tons of cache:INFO: generating system library: XXX.bc,

$ em++ src.cpp 
shared:ERROR: BINARYEN_ROOT must be set up in .emscripten

What you expected to happen

Compiles without Error

Step-by-step reproduction instructions (by running brew install commands)

After brew install emscripten, homebrew prompts

Manually set LLVM_ROOT to
  /usr/local/opt/emscripten/libexec/llvm/bin
and comment out BINARYEN_ROOT
in ~/.emscripten after running `emcc` for the first time.

which is written in emscripten.rb.

However, emscripten refuses compiling after following that.

I found:

v1.38.44: 09/11/2019
--------------------
- Remove Binaryen from the ports system. This means that emscripten will
   no longer automatically build Binaryen from source. Instead, either use
   the emsdk (binaries are provided automatically, just like for LLVM), or
   build it yourself and point `BINARYEN_ROOT` in .emscripten to it. See #9409

at Emscripten Release Notes

As emscripten-core/emscripten#9409 saying we need BINARYEN_ROOT to be set in ~.emscripten.

My workaroud:

disable wasm output using em++ -s WASM=0 src.cpp

or install brew install binaryen then set BINARYEN_ROOT to /usr/local

Then, why didn't you make a PR?

I found another PR #44846 dealing with all the llvm, binaryen stuff. I'm not sure if my PR conflicts.

Also I don't know what BINARYEN_ROOT should be.. /usr/local or /usr/local/opt/binaryen/?

I ran into this issue as well and used BINARYEN_ROOT = '/usr/local/opt/binaryen'
