Precompilation fails

[astrozot]

I just tried to install VML on a Mac laptop. The installation succeeds, but when I try to use the package the precompilation fails:

julia> using VML

Is this a problem linked to my own installation or a more general one? The problem is present in both Julia v. 1.2.0 and 1.3.0.

Can you try running

julia> ] build VML

explicitly and see if that fixes it? If not, can you look into deps/build.log and post the content here?

[Crown421]

Is this still current?

I tried just yesterday, but I am having troubles since the beginning. First, the installation notes on the main page, namely

julia> ] add https://github.com/JuliaMath/IntelVectorMath.jl

do not seem to be accurate (the associated page has a 404 error). If I install using

 julia> ] add https://github.com/JuliaMath/VML.jl

I then face a different problem:

  Updating git-repo `https://github.com/JuliaMath/VML.jl`

 └─restricted to versions 0.9.0 by an explicit requirement — no versions left

So I am basically stuck...

I apologize for the installation instructions, we are currently renaming the package, and finishing all aspects the parts are taking longer than expected.

The versioning is a surprise, it appears I don't fully understand the documentation of the Project.toml. I have just made a commit, would you mind trying it?

[astrozot]

Great, thank you! I just tried and everything works now!

[Crown421]

Excellent, happy to help.

To follow up, the package rename and registration is done. You can now ] rm VML (maybe you also need ] rm IntelVectorMath, and install the package from registry ] add IntelVectorMath
