I watched this talk on juliac which I am eager to try out but I can’t figure out how. I looked through the dev docs and the relevant PR , but no such luck, so am posting here. To get started I ran this: juliaup update nightly juliaup default nightly Then, the first (naive) thing I tried was the ex…

[image] slumpy: given that the binaries produced are not portable to other machines How do you come to the conclusion that the binaries are not portable? I mean, you have to make sure to compile using an instruction set that the target machine supports. I think this is possible using the corr…

Well, there’s quite a lot you have to do at the moment to make the binary run on another machine, unless it happens to have a very similar environment. Specifically on Linux, $ readelf -a ./hello |grep RUNPATH 0x000000000000001d (RUNPATH) Library runpath: [/home/gunnar/.julia/juliaup/ju…

[image] GunnarFarneback: The tooling simply isn’t there yet to make it convenient… Well, even in Julia 1.12 (which is not yet released) juliac.jl is marked as experimental. I think the goal is to create portable binaries, but nobody should expect that this will be convenient before next year. …

Of course not. But I think it’s uncontroversial to say that at this point in development, the binaries aren’t portable.

to be explicit about my own meaning; when I think “portable”, it means something that can be run on a different machine that has the same system libraries but not julia+packages installed. Obviously if i clone an exact copy of my entire filesystem/docker image everything should work but that’s a v…

Being able to create and distribute FMU components (see: https://fmi-standard.org/ ) would be great. And if the size goes down from 1GB to 100MB many users would already be happy. These components are often simulation models of components of cars or airplanes, a zip file containing one or more dll/so…

In the latest commits, some changes have been done to juliac scripts. A new folder has been created in contrib folder and this folder includes juliac-buildscript.jl , juliac-trim-base.jl , juliac-trim-stdlib.jl , and juliac.jl . I updated the makefile and the downloader script in repo GitHub - jbyteco…

I’m very interested in applying a julia.c for Windows. I face two problems when using juliac: Using julia 1.12-beta, and using my own compiler, clang, ld yields the error, that the option rpath would be unknown. lld: error: unknown argument: -rpath Setting rpath to "", it works. Do I loose imp…

Could you please try it one more time using the nightly build Julia? I am not sure if the new entry point definition format works in v1.12. Edit: Today @visr has sent a pull request about the Windows and Artifact stuff and looks like it is working: Download julia…

I tried again, but I got the same error message.
