Too few special library names specified error when calling init_julia

[reyntjesr]

I created a library with package compiler that I want to use on windows, For the code to work in windows I had to change the libjulia.dll like described in issue #658. When compiling and changing the libjulia.dll the compilation script produces the message below:

Info: Found embedded libpath │ libpath = │ 6-element Vector{SubString{String}}: │ "../bin/libgcc_s_seh-1.dll" │ "../bin/libopenlibm.dll" │ "@" │ "@../bin/libjulia-internal.dll" │ "@../bin/libjulia-codegen.dll" │ "" └ libpath_offset = 14337 ┌ Info: Filtered libpath │ libpath = │ 6-element Vector{AbstractString}: │ "libgcc_s_seh-1.dll" │ "libopenlibm.dll" │ "@" │ "@libjulia-internal.dll" │ "@libjulia-codegen.dll" └ ""

So the ../bin references in the libjulia.dll are removed.

It all used to work a few weeks ago but now I'm getting an error when calling init_julia. The error is: _ERROR: Too few special library names specified, check LOADER_BUILD_DEPLIBS and friends!

I searched for this error and it's called from the Julia cli and loader code: (lines where the error is called)

Do I get this error because of a new packagecompiler.jl version or Julia version? In the comments of the cli code is mentioned that it searches for 3 libraries with an @ prefix: libstdc++, libjulia-internal, libjulia-codegen. I see no libstdc++-6.dll file but there's a libstdc++-6.dll file. Could that be the problem? The libstdc++-6.dll is also missing in the libpath above. I'm a beginner with the Julia language so I'm just guessing here.

Do I get this error because of a new packagecompiler.jl version or Julia version?

You could try go back to either an earlier PackageCompiler or julia version and see if the problem still occurs and thereby see what change caused the error.

I don't know what I did but the original error is gone but now I'm getting other errors. At first I got an error:

fatal: error thrown and no exception handler available.

But after I copied the share and include folders to one folder below my program folder, this error stopped recurring. Is there also a hardcoded ../share relative path in another library?

After this error was solved I got a new one:

fatal: error thrown and no exception handler available.

I have OhMyREPL installed on my system, so I don't know why I get this error.
