I fail to run the application [`MyApp.exe`](https://julialang.github.io/PackageCompiler.jl/stable/apps.html) compiled from the [minimal example](https://github.com/JuliaLang/PackageCompiler.jl/tree/master/examples/MyApp) of the package [`PackageCompiler`](https://github.com/JuliaLang/PackageCompiler.jl)  
The error message can be found here:  
[# InitError(mod=:micromamba\_jll …](https://github.com/JuliaLang/PackageCompiler.jl/issues/784)

Any ideas? - Is this a current situation and I just have to patient?

P.S.:  
The purpose of my investigation how to compile a stand alone application is an interactive `GLMakie`-project.  
Does someone know about an example project that can be successfully compiled into an `*.exe`?

Addendum:  
Under Ubuntu 22.04 it is even worse, the compilation crashes …

```julia
ERROR: failed process: Process(`gcc '-DJULIA_MAIN="MyApp.julia_main"' [...]

```

FYI: There’s seemingly a workaround for this already, as you know, explained just now there on github. But for a possible another one:

I guess this means you’re using Python in your code (or if not indirectly in a dependency). I don’t know any other reason for using micromamba[\_jll], and I checked its dependents, you can see them (indirect ones) here:  
[https://juliahub.com/ui/Packages/CondaPkg/NxPEK/0.2.17?page=2](https://juliahub.com/ui/Packages/CondaPkg/NxPEK/0.2.17?page=2)

E.g. PythonCall and PythonPlot, so also consider some alternative non-Python code? I’m curious, what was it in your case?

Thanks for your reply!!! - It is the minimal example [MyApp.jl](https://github.com/JuliaLang/PackageCompiler.jl/blob/master/examples/MyApp/src/MyApp.jl) provided by the [PackageCompiler project-team](https://github.com/JuliaLang/PackageCompiler.jl).  
I do not know where to find an example project without this dependency that can be compiled into an executable App via `PackageCompiler` ☹

I do see here:

[https://github.com/JuliaLang/PackageCompiler.jl/commit/7e47b582fa2047692ad6110cd9bfedf697bbea15](https://github.com/JuliaLang/PackageCompiler.jl/commit/7e47b582fa2047692ad6110cd9bfedf697bbea15)

I guess docs might need to be better after that change. I suppose you can just use a slightly older version of the package, at least for now:

```julia
(@v1.8) pkg> add PackageCompiler@v2.1.4

```

I made a PR to fix this, untested, you can also (git) check out/add that commit:  
[https://github.com/JuliaLang/PackageCompiler.jl/pull/785](https://github.com/JuliaLang/PackageCompiler.jl/pull/785)

```julia
(@v1.8) pkg> add PackageCompiler#6123f09

```

Thanks for the proposal!  
I did, but the result is more or less the same:

```julia

My PR DID get rid of your error… 🙂 You just got MKL\_jll related one instead (maybe understandable, just not by me), so I closed my PR. It seems more involved than my simple “fix”. At least I tried, and that PR could be reopened and extended, feel free to fork it. It did pass CI (16? if recall successful, except for this one error, that may have been a false alarm):

> **CI / test (1.6, x64, windows-latest, true) (pull\_request)** Failing after 62m

The following helped:

```julia
using PackageCompiler; create_app("MyApp", "MyAppCompiled"; incremental = true, include_lazy_artifacts=true)

```

@ianshmean: Thanks 🙂

P.S.:  
If you have a `startup.jl` you may need to modify the Julia start command like this:

```julia
julia -q --startup-file=no --project

```

I have started a project for a `GLMakie` based App:

it crushes at the moment, but maybe someone knows how to cure this …
