I am trying to use `compile_package` or `compile_incremental` from [PackageCompiler.jl](https://github.com/JuliaLang/PackageCompiler.jl/) to compile an internal package that is not registered in METADATA. When trying `compile_increemental`, the process fails with
```julia

```
and when trying `compile_package`, the process fails with the same error and a segmentation fault at that. I can’t find any related issues in the repo for `PackageCompiler`. Is compilation of a non-registered package not supported or have I run into a bug?
The package in question (`Robotlab.jl`) passes tests and is usable locally.

Edit:
I just noticed that the last release is called [fix for unregistered packages](https://github.com/JuliaLang/PackageCompiler.jl/releases/tag/v0.6.3), unfortunately, it did not seem to fix the issue in my case 😮

I think you need to push the path to your local package to `Base.LOAD_PATH` before calling `compile_incremental` (see [here](https://github.com/JuliaLang/PackageCompiler.jl/pull/179/files#diff-fce720c43af3c52c862fd7451c7374b8R26)).
Should presumably be documented somewhere, so do open issues/PRs! 😉

Unfortunately, that does not solve the problem, after having pushed the following to `LOAD_PATH`, the same error persists
```julia

Is there any update on this? I’m facing a similar error.

I have the same problem when using PackageCompiler v0.6.4, PackageCompiler’s master branch or any of the latest commits building on top of master.
I have, however, compiled successfully my non registered packages using PackageCompiler’s sd-notomls branch. You might want to try that instead. Be aware that this branch has other problems, as it errors on compiling the DataFrames package for example, see [#290](https://github.com/JuliaLang/PackageCompiler.jl/issues/290).
