Build with WASI-Poll Plug-in
The WASI-Poll plug-in provides an implementation of the WASI Poll proposal, which enables WebAssembly modules to perform I/O multiplexing — waiting on multiple I/O events simultaneously. This is essential for building efficient, event-driven WebAssembly applications on the WasmEdge runtime.
Build WasmEdge with WASI-Poll Plug-in
To enable the WasmEdge WASI-Poll plug-in, developers need to build WasmEdge from source with the cmake option -DWASMEDGE_PLUGIN_WASI_POLL=ON.
The WASI-Poll plug-in has no external dependencies beyond the WasmEdge runtime itself.
cd <path/to/your/wasmedge/source/folder>
cmake -GNinja -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DWASMEDGE_PLUGIN_WASI_POLL=ON
cmake --build build
cmake --install build
If the built wasmedge CLI tool cannot find the WASI-Poll plug-in, you can set the WASMEDGE_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable to the plug-in installation path (such as /usr/local/lib/wasmedge/, or the built plug-in path build/plugins/wasi_poll/) to try to fix this issue.
Then you will have an executable wasmedge runtime under /usr/local/bin and the WASI-Poll plug-in under /usr/local/lib/wasmedge/libwasmedgePluginWasiPoll.so after installation.
