Linux binaries (WSL Ubuntu) made by PackageCompiler.jl hangs (>1hr) while maxing out RAM. Windows binaries work though. How to debug?

I guess you need to tell us more about the code that you compiled to get a useful answer.

It’s a FDTD simulator GitHub - paulxshen/Luminescent.jl Windows binaries work. Linux binaries hangs now but worked few months ago. Tried couple different Linux machines to same effect. My entry point returns immediately on empty ARGS - still hangs in this case - so it’s not even executing my cod…

I guess I can try using older PackageCompiler when it last worked. But still nice to know what’s causing the current issue

Can you: provide the output of using Pkg; Pkg.status() ? provide the code you use to run PackageCompiler ?

Tried incremental=false didn’t work. Tried rolling back to 2.1.17 but got some jll error on julia 1.11 - not worth debugging. Odd why compiling on windows works…

One thing I had to do was to add include_transitive_dependencies=true,: PackageCompiler.create_sysimage( [:Dierckx, :StaticArrays, :Parameters, :NLsolve, :DocStringExtensions, :Sundials, :KiteUtils, :KitePodModels, :AtmosphericModels, :OrdinaryDiffEqCore, :OrdinaryDiffEqBDF, :OrdinaryDiff…

Thanks I think include_transitive_dependencies=true is default - anyways I tried it and didn’t work. Also tried w/o luck incremental true. MWE is good practice but IDK if it has any additional useful info here. Meanwhile I interrupted ^C when it hangs and got: ··· InterruptException() _jl_mutex_u…
