dhoegh / buildexecutable.jl Goto Github PK

This env var is significant to the Julia runtime, and BuildExecutable should not be touching it.

@ViralBShah recently posted a different approach to building binaries from Julia code on Discourse. See this comment for some differences. Should the functionality of https://github.com/JuliaComputing/static-julia (which is currently more of a tech demo than a full-fledged utility) be incorporated into BuildExecutable?

Hi,

I am using Julia to compile a simple code.

function main()
println("It works")
end

Seems like it does not work.

There are two errors:

ERROR: LoadError: failed process: Process('C:\Users\bpng\.julia\v0.4\WinRPM\dep s\usr\x86_64-w64-mingw32\sys-root\mingw\bin\gcc.exe' '-LC:\Users\bpng\Julia-0.4. 6\bin' -shared -ljulia -lssp -o 'C:\Users\bpng\Julia-0.4.6\bin\libtryexe.exe.dll ' 'C:\Users\bpng\Julia-0.4.6\bin\libtryexe.exe.o', ProcessExited(1)) [1]

May I know how can I solve them?

Thanks.

When I run the script:

using BuildExecutable
build_executable("neapolitan", "src/neapolitan-command.jl", "bin", "native")

I get this error:

ERROR: LoadError: Unable to modify /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libneapolitan.ji

So it is trying to write to /usr/lib! How to fix?

when using @generated in conjunction with @nloops, i get an UndefVarError(symbol("@nloops")) error when the built executable is run on the command line. the code runs fine when (a) either macro is used alone, or (b) the source is evaluated in the REPL. any ideas? see code below.

importall Base.Cartesian

# this does NOT work
@generated function foo{T,N}(A::Array{T,N})
  println(N)
  quote
    @nloops $N i A begin
      println(@nref($N,A,i))
    end
  end
end

#= but this DOES work
@generated function foo(A)
  println(A)
  quote
    println(A)
  end  
end    

# and so DOES this
function foo(A)
  @nloops 3 i A begin
    println(@nref(3,A,i))
  end
end
=#

function main()
  println("hello world!")
  foo(rand(3,3,3))
end

this blog seems relevant, but i don't entirely understand it.

Are there any plans to support binary dependencies at any time in the future? (Like by sharing the dependencies for all OS together packed into the executable file and then extracted to a temp directory)

I was just trying to see if it was possible to use this to compile a simple mathematical optimization problem, and found that the example Sudoku solver on the JuMP.jl website does not compile. The error reported is a problem with not be able to find the STDERR variable. I've checked and this runs when I just call main from julia.

I'm using Julia version 0.4.5, and BuildExecutable version 0.0.3.

Here is my attempt:

import JuMP

function main()
# Create a model
sudoku = JuMP.Model()

# Create our variables
@JuMP.defVar(sudoku, x[i=1:9, j=1:9, k=1:9], Bin)

for i = 1:9, j = 1:9  # Each row and each column
  # Sum across all the possible digits
  # One and only one of the digits can be in this cell, 
  # so the sum must be equal to one
  @JuMP.addConstraint(sudoku, sum{x[i,j,k],k=1:9} == 1)
end


for ind = 1:9  # Each row, OR each column
  for k = 1:9  # Each digit
      # Sum across columns (j) - row constraint
      @JuMP.addConstraint(sudoku, sum{x[ind,j,k],j=1:9} == 1)
      # Sum across rows (i) - column constraint
      @JuMP.addConstraint(sudoku, sum{x[i,ind,k],i=1:9} == 1)
  end
end

for i = 1:3:7, j = 1:3:7, k = 1:9
  # i is the top left row, j is the top left column
  # We'll sum from i to i+2, e.g. i=4, r=4, 5, 6
  @JuMP.addConstraint(sudoku, sum{x[r,c,k], r=i:i+2, c=j:j+2} == 1)
end

init_sol = [ 5 3 0 0 7 0 0 0 0;
           6 0 0 1 9 5 0 0 0;
           0 9 8 0 0 0 0 6 0;
           8 0 0 0 6 0 0 0 3;
           4 0 0 8 0 3 0 0 1;
           7 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 6;
           0 6 0 0 0 0 2 8 0;
           0 0 0 4 1 9 0 0 5;
           0 0 0 0 8 0 0 7 9]
for i = 1:9, j = 1:9
    # If the space isn't empty
    if init_sol[i,j] != 0
        # Then the corresponding variable for that digit
        # and location must be 1
        @JuMP.addConstraint(sudoku, x[i,j,init_sol[i,j]] == 1)
    end
end

JuMP.solve(sudoku)

# Extract the values of x
x_val = JuMP.getValue(x)
# Create a matrix to store the solution
sol = zeros(Int,9,9)  # 9x9 matrix of integers
for i in 1:9, j in 1:9, k in 1:9
    # Integer programs are solved as a series of linear programs
    # so the values might not be precisely 0 and 1. We can just
    # round them to the nearest integer to make it easier
    if iround(x_val[i,j,k]) == 1
        sol[i,j] = k
    end
end
# Display the solution
println(sol)
end

Here's the error:

the build hangs, and also there are some defunct julia process when use ps -a
Any idea?

I have successfully compiled all my programs and used them in my computer (windows 10). But I am having portability issues.

When I compile on my "windows 10 64bits core i7-5500U" with cpu_target="core2" it works on all other i7 I could test on. However, when I use that on an amazon "Windows Server2012-R2 with Intel Xeon E5-2670 v2" I get the following error:

LLVM ERROR: Program used external function 'rint' which could not be resolved!

rint seems to be from openlibm.

If I compile on the amazon windows server with cpu_target="native" everything works smoothly. However, I could not compile it with no other cpu_target, I tried: core2, i686, generic, i386 .

Any Ideas?
Which cpu_target is used for the julia distribution?

Note that the same julia distribution (0.5.1 64bits) works perfectly on all the machines mentioned here, I copied and pasted the whole folder to confirm.

The failure on linux master. some info about a possible fix see: libgit2/pygit2#134

I have created this repository because the build_executable.jl in base is left alone in broken condition for long periods. The test of the script pressure the CI and hence is untested in base. I have gotten the scripts in working condition locally on both Windows and Ubuntu. Appveyor is setup to run weakly and as of now the test are passing on both 0.4 and master.
The Plan is to:

• Get travis working
• Register BuildExecutable.jl at METADATA.jl
• Remove build_executable.jl from Base

cc @tkelman
This repository are the actions we discussed in: JuliaLang/julia#11101. Could you take a look at Travis, I cannot seem to get Travis working?

Hello,
I encountered a issue when trying to build an executable from 'zela.jl'

zela.jl : " f = open("input.txt")

Test Failed under julia 0.6

Might be good to tag a new release on METADATA. Also, would you be interested in a co-maintainer?

As described in https://discourse.julialang.org/t/ann-plans-for-removing-packages-that-do-not-yet-support-1-0-from-the-general-registry/ we are planning on removing packages that do not support 1.0 from the General registry. This package has been detected to not support 1.0 and is thus slated to be removed. The removal of packages from the registry will happen approximately a month after this issue is open.

To transition to the new Pkg system using Project.toml, see https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/Registrator.jl#transitioning-from-require-to-projecttoml.
To then tag a new version of the package, see https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/Registrator.jl#via-the-github-app.

If you believe this package has erroneously been detected as not supporting 1.0 or have any other questions, don't hesitate to discuss it here or in the thread linked at the top of this post.

Hi!

I am running Pkg.test("BuildExecutable") after starting Julia with admin privileges sudo Julia and using the latest clone:

julia> Pkg.status()
20 required packages:
 - ArrayViews                    0.6.4
 - Atom                          0.5.10
 - BuildExecutable               0.1.2+             master

and I get the error,

Error During Test
  Test threw an exception of type ArgumentError
  Expression: build_executable(exename,script,targetdir,"native"; force=false) == 0
  ArgumentError: '/home/loic/.julia/v0.5/BuildExecutable/test/test_dir/libssh2.so.1' exists. `remove_destination=true` is required to remove '/home/loic/.julia/v0.5/BuildExecutable/test/test_dir/libssh2.so.1' before copying.

which is odd since, as far as I can tell, that directory is not even created prior to running the test (in reference to a comment from #5 that make sure to delete files from targetdir beforehand)

What am I missing?
Thanks!

Loic

Sorry to bug you folks again, but would it be possible to give build_executable an option to bundle julia and all its dependencies into the executable for distributing to other machines that don't have julia installed?

For example, if I build my playground script on my host machine and try to transfer the build directory to a vm I get the following error.

$ ./playground
dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/libjulia.dylib
  Referenced from: /Volumes/Playground.jl/deps/usr/build/./playground
  Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap: 5

From what I can tell the julia rpath is hard coded to the machine the executable was built on

otool -l playground
...
Load command 15
            cmd LC_RPATH
       cmdsize 96
           path /Users/rory/.playground/src/julia-0.4_2015-11-30/Contents/Resources/julia/lib/julia (offset 12)

When use this package in Julia 1.0, build failed

Hi,

I've been having a lot of trouble trying to compile a julia program to a standalone binary. I want to do this in order to run a program on a cluster that does not have Julia installed. Perhaps you have some advice.

I keep getting an error:

ERROR: LoadError: failed process: Process(`/usr/bin/julia -C native --output-ji /usr/lib/julia/lib..ji --output-o /usr/lib/julia/lib..o -J /usr/lib/julia/inference.ji --startup-file=no sysimg.jl`, ProcessExited(1)) [1]

This is my program:

function main()
    println("HELLO WORLD")
end

And the command I'm running is

julia /usr/share/julia/build_executable.jl helloworld /home/gideon/hello_world/hello_world.jl --force

Thanks!

Hi All,

Anyone can compile added packages? I am using the package "interpolations" but it seems that the system will not link this package into the executable.

Also, can I use "include("filename.jl")" in the executable?

Thanks for your advice.

Thanks for making this package.

I am relatively new to Julia and am trying to get rid of the JIT overhead in my application.

Is it true, if I use BuildExecutable and upon using the executable, I should get no JIT overhead ? So basically mimic a 2nd time call to the script (like we do for benchmarking) ?

thanks!

I have a .juliarc.jl which pushes a folder to LOAD_PATH. When I try to build_executable a script which uses a package in that folder I get a

LoadError("C:\\Users\\amellnik\\Documents\\Julia libraries\\Foo\\src\\build.jl",
    1,ArgumentError("Module Foo not found in current path.\nRun `Pkg.add(\"Foo\")`
    to install the Foo package."))))

error, although using Foo works when running the script or in the REPL.

I'm guessing that BuildExecutable.jl should probably install patchelf on linux distros?

Hi
I've been trying to build a small form project which uses:
https://github.com/JuliaGraphics/Gtk.jl

I've tried a simple test project which isn't using Gtk and that builds just fine, so I'm assuming its down to paths maybe or BuildExecutable probably wont work with it?

Any insight would be great

using Gtk.ShortNames
function main()
win = Window("My window")
setproperty!(win, :title, "New title")
f = Frame("A frame")
push!(win, f)
ok = Button("OK")
push!(f, ok)
showall(win)
id = signal_connect(ok, "clicked") do widget
println(widget, " was clicked!")
end
end
main()

thanks

Sorry, if this is a dumb question, but is there any way to have the ARGS constant set at runtime rather than compile time? I have a script that takes cmd line args and when I compile my script my arguments are being ignored when I try to run it, I'm assuming because the ARGS constant is set at compile time and doesn't change at runtime?

WARNING: `@windows_only` is deprecated, use `@static if is_windows()` instead

I guess that's easy to fix.

I get the following error when I try to run BuildExecutable on my Julia script:

Hi.
I've used build_executable to compile a very simple program:

function main()
    for x in ARGS
        println("Hi: $x")
    end
end

The produced executable takes over 6 seconds to run!

What is happening in those 6 seconds? Is it compilation? Is there a way to precompile everything I need?

In build_sysimg.jl and in BuildExecutable.jl you build inference0...
the code from inference0 is identical with code from inference

but whats the point in building it?

You already build inference from coreimg. why do you need to build it twice?
Even if you would need inference0, wouldn't it be better to just copy & paste & rename inference.jii and inference.o?

i removed inference0 lines in build_sysimg.jl and in BuildExecutable.jl and my compiling went through without problems (system: windows 10 - x64).

After compiling the system image, the compiler crashes a little after GCC starts.

i work on 3 operating systems and 3 computers .
from all operating systems ,
compiling on windows 7 doesn't work beyond 'native'

*** on windows 7 , i tried, 'core2', 'i386', 'i686', 'generic',
all produce the 'rint' error (on the same computer complied)

*** the 'corei7' did progress a bit ,
yet there was error message after 5 second run
with long error message

*** the 'core-avx2' and 'core-avx-i' did not compile at all

(the same computer with ubuntu , the 'core2' did work)
(the same computer with windows 10 , the 'core2' did work, yet the 'core-avx-i' did not compile)

preparing the 'core-avx-i' on windows 8 (different computer),
the exe file did not work on windows 7 (worked just on windows 8 computer) .
that was not surprised, yet the 'corei7' exe from windows 7 did work on the second computer with windows 8 .

The cpu where the windows 7 (& windows 10 and ubuntu 16.04.2) is : core intel, E8500
The cpu where the windows 8 (& ubuntu 16.04.2) is : core intel, i5 4200

how to solve the problem with windows 7??
(the computer cpu with the windows 7 in the category SSE4.1 and the target for that is 'core-avx-i' yet that produced the error during compilation )

Just tried this on OS X and hit a wall when trying to compile this test:
