From Creating a sysimage · PackageCompiler (julialang.github.io):
“We start Julia with the -Jsys.so
flag to load the new custom sys.so
sysimage (or sys.dylib
, sys.dll
on macOS and Windows respecitively)”
I have successfully used the .so
file extension on my windows computer, but I changed it to .dll
based on this documentation. But If .so
works on windows, where does it not work? Is the an advantage to using .dll
? If I want to keep it as general as possible, should I use .so
, becasue it works on Windows (my experience) and Linux (based on the quote from the docs)?
