Can't install sdk-tag-1.37.9-64bit version of emscripten using ./emsdk script on 64bit Linux

I don't know if this is correct place to ask this, because ./emsdk script and emsdk_manifest.json files are not a part of this repository.

Anyway I'm trying to install newer versions of emscripten (1.37.9) with ./emsdk script on 64bit Linux. Neither installing "latest" nor "sdk-tag-1.37.9-64bit" seems to do the job.

$ ./emsdk update
...
Done. 96 tagged releases available, latest is 1.37.9.

$ ./emsdk install latest
Installing SDK 'sdk-master-64bit'..
...
Done installing SDK 'sdk-master-64bit'.

$ ./emsdk activate lastest
...

$ source ./emsdk_env.sh
...

$ emcc --version
emcc (Emscripten gcc/clang-like replacement) 1.37.0 (commit 6dc4ac5f9e4d8484e273e4dcc554f809738cedd6) // master
...

$ ./emsdk install sdk-tag-1.37.9-64bit
Error: No tool or SDK found by name 'sdk-tag-1.37.9-64bit'.

I think that this is caused by accidentally using "unix" for "os" key instead of "linux" in emsdk_manifest.json:845. This results in all emscripten versions from git tags to be ignored on 64bit linux, because compatible_with_this_os() in load_sdk_manifest() only checks for "win", "linux" and "osx" strings (see ./emsdk script).

Changing the code to check also for "unix" or modifying emsdk_manifest.json to use "linux" lets me install sdk-tag-1.37.9-64bit.

I would submit a patch, but it seems that both emsdk script and emsdk_manifest.json are not a part of this repository.

Thanks for reporting. I can see that in the current github trunk version of emsdk this works. If you are using the git version, try git pulling to latest. The prepackaged version is now being worked to get updated really soon as well.

Thanks @juj

I'm using prepackaged version, but I've just checked and this is indeed fixed in the git version.

Also I couldn't find it earlier but now I see that https://github.com/juj/emsdk is the correct repository for this kind of issues.

Closing this issue.
