Research direction

Start by reproducing the make command shown in the issue with the reported SQLite amalgamation and emcc version. Inspect src/api.js, src/exported_functions.json, and src/exported_runtime_methods.json alongside the Closure Compiler errors; done means the build completes successfully with the custom extension.

Description

Hi there thanks for this great project!

I am building the Make File to load a custom SQLite extension.
Unfortunately the build fails. I have not modified the make file yet.
I think its emcc that's failing.

emcc --memory-init-file 0 -s RESERVED_FUNCTION_POINTERS=64 -s ALLOW_TABLE_GROWTH=1 -s EXPORTED_FUNCTIONS=@src/exported_functions.json -s EXPORTED_RUNTIME_METHODS=@src/exported_runtime_methods.json -s SINGLE_FILE=0 -s NODEJS_CATCH_EXIT=0 -s NODEJS_CATCH_REJECTION=0 -Oz -flto --closure 1 -s WASM=0 out/sqlite3.bc out/extension-functions.bc --pre-js src/api.js -o dist/sql-asm.js

I'm building this version of sqlite https://www.sqlite.org/2022/sqlite-amalgamation-3390300.zip
on WSL and installed the latest version of emcc

Any clues on what's going wrong?
