I’m trying to create a small app using Julia.
This is the repo:

https://github.com/alvaradojl/julia-microservice

I ventured into the packagecompiler.jl documentation, I tried to follow all the steps, unfortunately I get an error:

$ julia --startup-file=no --output-o myapp.o -J"/opt/julia-1.4.2/lib/julia/sys.so" custom_sysimage.jl

I’m using Ubuntu 18.04 and Julia 1.14:

$ julia --v
julia version 1.4.2

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS
Release: 18.04
Codename: bionic

I also tried to create simple shared libraby (without the custom image)

using MyApp
using PackageCompiler
create_sysimage([:MyApp];sysimage_path="sysimage_myapp.dylib")

and I also get this error

julia> create_sysimage([:MyApp];sysimage_path=“sysimage_myapp.dylib”)

└ Loading Dates into MyApp from project dependency, future warnings for MyApp are suppressed.

can you fix this error?

I can’t see Dates in https://github.com/alvaradojl/julia-microservice/blob/master/Project.toml
