```julia-auto

[Info: Precompiling GLMakie [e9467ef8-e4e7-5192-8a1a-b1aee30e663a]
I see that the problem is known and I had seen it before but from the
warning message it appears that it prevents precompilation ahead of
time. This is a real trip back to TTFX for GLMakie and others...
Does anyone know a work around?

If you use Julia 1.11, this is fixed.
