When running the script `bin/create_sys_image` from the package [GitHub - aenarete/KiteControllers.jl: Controllers for airborne wind energy systems](https://github.com/aenarete/KiteControllers.jl) I get the following error:

This is the code that gets executed:

```julia
# activate the test environment if needed
using Pkg
if ! ("Plots" ∈ keys(Pkg.project().dependencies))
    using TestEnv; TestEnv.activate()
    Pkg.resolve()
end

@info "Loading packages ..."
using BenchmarkTools, Plots, KiteUtils, NLsolve, Parameters, StaticArrays, WinchModels, PackageCompiler, KiteViewers, 
      KiteModels, KitePodModels, StructTypes, YAML

@info "Creating sysimage ..."
push!(LOAD_PATH,joinpath(pwd(),"src"))

PackageCompiler.create_sysimage(
    [:BenchmarkTools, :Plots, :KiteUtils, :NLsolve, :Parameters, :StaticArrays, :WinchModels, :KiteViewers, 
     :KiteModels, :KitePodModels, :StructTypes, :YAML];
    sysimage_path="kps-image_tmp.so",
    precompile_execution_file=joinpath("test", "test_for_precompile.jl")
)

```

Any idea what is going wrong?

Interesting, it’s definitely in there: [StaticArrayInterface.jl/Project.toml at master · JuliaArrays/StaticArrayInterface.jl · GitHub](https://github.com/JuliaArrays/StaticArrayInterface.jl/blob/master/Project.toml#L9)

It’s saying StaticArrayInterface, and every release of the package has had it as a dep.

> <https://github.com/JuliaArrays/StaticArrayInterface.jl/blob/v1.0.0/Project.toml#L9>

My guess is that it’s a bad interaction between Requires and system image building. Using v1.9 with its extensions might be the right thing to do here.

Adding StaticArrayInterface to Project.toml, to the “using” statement and to `PackageCompiler.create_sysimage` solved the issue. Is this to be expected, or is it a bug in PackageCompiler?

It must be some interaction between Requires and PackageCompiler

Files loaded by `Requires` should only load packages via `using ..Package` if it wants to be relocatable (and compatible with sysimages). That’s because these files are loaded at runtime.

So here it should use `using ..LinearAlgebra`.

What do you mean with `Requires` ? Is it a package or a function? I am not aware that I am using `Requires`.

EDIT: Ok, now I see that it is a package used by StaticArrayInterface.

Yes, I think that should improve things.
