lager (master/HEAD) vs. relx (master/HEAD)

[Cloven]

installing lager as a dependency via rebar:

{sub_dirs, ["apps/jobmachine"]}. {depsdir, ["deps"]}. {deps, [ {eredis, ".", {git, "git://github.com/wooga/eredis.git"}}, {lager, "._", {git, "git://github.com/basho/lager.git"}}, {folsom, ".*", {git, "git://github.com/boundary/folsom.git"}} ]}.

lager builds fine, and starts fine via the command line:

erl -pa deps/*/ebin Erlang/OTP 17 [erts-6.0] [source] [64-bit] [smp:2:2] [async-threads:10] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false]

Eshell V6.0 (abort with ^G) 3> application:start(syntax_tools). ok 5> application:start(compiler). ok 6> application:start(goldrush). ok 7> application:start(lager). ok 8> 19:29:39.248 [info] Application lager started on node nonode@nohost

but when I use relx with what I believe to be the simplest possible relx.config to build a node release that starts lager:

{extended_start_script, true}. {default_release, jobmachinenode, "0.0.1"}. {release, {jobmachinenode, "0.0.1"}, [jobmachine, lager, runtime_tools]}.

and then run _rel/bin/jobmachinenode console, I get:

18:16:03.066 [error] CRASH REPORT Process <0.46.0> with 0 neighbours exited with reason: {compile_forms,error} in glc_code:compile_forms/2 line 347 in application_master:init/4 line 133 18:16:03.066 [info] Application lager exited with reason: {compile_forms,error} in glc_code:compile_forms/2 line 347 {"Kernel pid terminated",application_controller,"{application_start_failure,lager,{bad_return,{{lager_app,start,[normal,[]]},{'EXIT',{{compile_forms,error},[{glc_code,compile_forms,2,[{file,\"src/glc_code.erl\"},{line,347}]},{glc_code,compile,2,[{file,\"src/glc_code.erl\"},{line,30}]},{glc,compile,2,[{file,\"src/glc.erl\"},{line,171}]},{lager_util,trace_filter,2,[{file,\"src/lager_util.erl\"},{line,364}]},{lager_app,start,2,[{file,\"src/lager_app.erl\"},{line,101}]},{application_master,start_it_old,4,[{file,\"application_master.erl\"},{line,272}]}]}}}}}"}

It's unclear whether this is a lager issue, goldrush issue, compile module issue, relx issue, or pebkac issue, but this error is particularly inscrutable and, to me, intractable so far.

I think this might be a goldrush thing, pinging @deadzen

This is definitely related to goldrush needing the compile tools. Is this still an issue? If so, please reopen.
