ERROR: Unable to find compatible target in system image (julia 1.9.0)

General Usage

Hi everyone,

With julia 1.8.5 (PackageCompiler v2.1.5) it works but when I recently upgraded to julia 1.9.0 (PackageCompiler v2.1.5) and deploy the same julia package in a container using PackageCompiler it results in the following error message: ERROR: Unable to find compatible target in system image.

When creating the sysimage I’m using the following cpu target: cpu_target = "generic;native,sandybridge,-xsaveopt,clone_all;haswell,-rdrnd,base(1)"

I’ve experimented with different arguments here but none seem to work, only to downgrade back to 1.8.5. Any suggestions would be very welcomed.

The sysimage created with julia 1.9.0 works locally on my laptop but not on the target cpu. The target lscpu gives this information:

Not sure if it’s the same, but this error message came up on Slack recently and a fix that might address it is here:

I think this should be available on PkgCompiler master so give it a try.

Thank you so much! It solved the issue using master:

import Pkg;
#Pkg.add("PackageCompiler");
Pkg.add(name="PackageCompiler", rev="master")

Glad it worked! I think Kristoffer is planning a patch release soon so you shouldn’t have to stay on master for too long.
