I decided to try what I can do with QML but I got stuck before even getting started i.e. in the installation phase. Here’s what I tried and what happened:
Environment:
PC: Razer Blade 15
OS: Win 10 (with all updates)
Julia 1.6.1
What I’ve done:
Removing Julia and .julia directory (and the line in PATH env.var.) to get a clean slate
Installing Julia 1.6.1 with the PATH updates
Starting Julia command line and going to pkg> and giving st
==>
Status C:\Users\IsoPomo\.julia\environments\v1.6\Project.toml (empty project)
Giving:
add QML
Huge output ends like this:
Precompiling project…
✗ QML
52 dependencies successfully precompiled in 15 seconds
1 dependency errored. To see a full report either run import Pkg; Pkg.precompile() or load the package
Backspacing to Julia REPL and giving:
import Pkg; Pkg.precompile()
The output is:
Precompiling project…
✗ QML
0 dependencies successfully precompiled in 2 seconds (52 already precompiled)
ERROR: The following 1 direct dependency failed to precompile:

It seems to be the same situation like the one reported in the last post of the topic Installing QML.jl
It turns out that the old phrase “Google is your friend” is still valid. I found out the error has been corrected in QML.jl master and that one can get on by using
pkg> add github.com/barche/qml.jl#master
When trying the next logical thing i.e. the line to run the QML.jl examples from the QML GitHub page
I get the first app to work but a crash already on the second one. Because this seems to be clearly QML.jl related I will do as ufechner7 (thanks for answering!) suggested and create an issue on this crash on GitHub
It may be that the example crashes because not all required packages are installed, I really should think of an elegant way to have the dependencies for the examples installed.
Other than that, if the basics work in the master version then maybe it’s time I did a new release
The first ex. board.jl ran (I think) OK after I did what I was told i.e.:
import Pkg; Pkg.add(“Qt5QuickControls_jll”)
The second one produced this output:
running example canvas.jl…

I copied the directory C:\Users\IsoPomo.julia\packages\QML\ZrlNP
into my own dir. structure to be able to toggle off the read-only atrr.s
of the folders and files to be able to edit the files.
Bypassing canvas.jl to be able to test the others
After changing

to
if fname != myname && fname != “canvas.jl” && endswith(fname, “.jl”) && fname ∉ excluded
most of the ex. files start running OK (I think). Here’s some remarks.
