Failure when creating sysimage with ZMQ >= 1.2.3

[bluesmoon]

I'm using Julia 1.6.7.

I create a sysimage with PackageCompiler that includes all of my modules. One of the modules is IJulia, which in turn requires ZMQ.

The sysimage succeeds when using ZMQ 1.2.2, but if I use 1.2.3 or higher (I've tested 1.2.4 and 1.2.5 as well), I get thousands of lines of errors that look like this:

Any idea where I should look to get more information about this?

[JamesWrigley]

It seems to be because of the precompilation workload we added in 1.2.3 (#224) 🤔 I'm not sure why exactly, will look into it.

[JamesWrigley]

Could you try with my branch from #242? That fixes the issue for me.

[bluesmoon]

Will do. I'll let you know in an hour or so.

[bluesmoon]

It's still running, but previous runs would have failed by this point.

[bluesmoon]

ok, success! Is it safe to say that this will be version 1.2.6?

[JamesWrigley]

Yep :) JuliaRegistries/General#108890
