I’m trying to create a library for my package using the following command:  
using PackageCompiler; create\_library(“MyPackage”, “libMyPackage”)  
This command fails when trying to precompile the project, stating that a function MyFunc which is defined in the MyDependency package cannot be found.  
I have a version of MyDependency in my .julia folder, which does not have MyFunc defined, but I also have a dev version of the package in which I have defined MyFunc.  
The status command of pkg points to the correct path of the dev version of MyDependency. Additionally, when I execute ‘test MyPackage’ the dependency is also correctly found.  
Only when using the create\_library function MyFunc cannot be found.

How do I ensure that the PackageCompiler also finds the correct path of MyDependency?

Do both packages have the same version number? Try bumping the version number of the deved package.
