A Cappuccino project has always needed to have a flat file structure to be able to compile from source in the web browser. A new dictionary can be added to the project's Info.plist with the key 'CPFileTranslationDictionary'. It should contain all the path translations in the project to allow the Browser to find out where in the file structure the source files are. Check in the AppKit framework for an example. Also, a include list can be added in the Info.plist for the key 'CPCompileIncludeFileArray'. The file in the list will be included by a '#include' statement for each file that is compiled in this project A last new feature is to add macros in the 'OBJJ_COMPILER_FLAGS' global variable. It is usually declared in the index.html file. It is done with the format '-Dmacroname[=macrodefinition]'. An updated Info.plist file in the AppKit framework will allow the AppKit to compile from the source in the web browser. The following things is needed to get this to work: 1. Replace the AppKit folder in your project's Frameworks folder with a copy of the AppKit folder from the Cappuccino project. 2. Add a copy of the built Aristo2.blend folder to the AppKit's Resource folder. 3. Add "-DPLATFORM_DOM", "-DPLATFORM_BROWSER" and optionally "-DDEBUG" to the global variable 'OBJJ_COMPILER_FLAGS' in the project's index.html file. The app load time will increase (about 3 seconds on a 2018 MacBook Pro) as the AppKit framework is compiled from source. The Foundation framework is not yet tested but it might be working by adding info about the file structure in the Info.plist file.
