> Are you sure that PackageCompiler can find that file on your system? And if so, what are its contents?

It contains what should be compiled for the sysimage. It contains a lot precompile statements  
like some of these

```julia
precompile(Tuple{Type{Base.Multimedia.TextDisplay}, Base.PipeEndpoint})
precompile(Tuple{Type{REPL.Terminals.TTYTerminal}, String, Base.PipeEndpoint, Base.PipeEndpoint, Base.PipeEndpoint})
precompile(Tuple{typeof(Base.something), Nothing, Base.PipeEndpoint})
precompile(Tuple{typeof(Pkg.API.instantiate)})
precompile(Tuple{typeof(Base.deepcopy_internal), Any, Base.IdDict{Any, Any}})
precompile(Tuple{typeof(Core.Compiler.eltype), Type{Array{UInt64, 1}}})
precompile(Tuple{typeof(Base.deepcopy_internal), Tuple{UInt64}, Base.IdDict{Any, Any}})

```

to generate it I followed direction from this post

Here is the following lsp config inside my init.vim for neovim to record the precompilation statements: " LSP lua \<\< EOF require'lspconfig'.rust\_analyzer.setup({on\_attach=require'completion'.on\_attach}) require'lspconfig'.julials.setup({ on\_new\_config = function(new\_config,new\_root\_dir) ser…

I’m sure PackageCompiler can found it. I have tried making a symbolic link for  
`~/.julia/artifacts/fdff308295487f361ef6e8dc2d27f5abe8a6eee9/mingw64/bin` to point at my msys2 installation that has g++ and it manages to build the image. But when i use it Julia can’t load it.
