precompilation always fails
I work on a Macbook Pro, OS X 10.13.6 High Sierra. I have freshly installed Julia 1.7.1. Then tried to install GR.jl using the package manager ( "] add GR" ). Compilation fails:
Precompiling project... ✗ GR_jll 0 dependencies successfully precompiled in 4 seconds (79 already precompiled)
I then completely removed Julia and the .julia folder and tried again. Still compilation fails. Searched the internet and found many people having the same issue. Tried several suggestions but nothing helped.
Please fix this problem as being able to output graphics is crucial to many people. Without proper graphics output Julia becomes useless for most of us.
Unfortunately, I can't reproduce the problem.
Could you please start Julia this way : env JULIA_GR_PROVIDER="GR" julia and then ] add GR?
I just tested it on macOS 10.15.7 - I don't have an older system - and it worked fine, no matter which GR provider I use. Same for BigSur, Monterey (12.2 or 12.3 Beta) using Julia 1.7.1 or Julia 1.8.0-DEV.1440 (both architectures, x86_64 and arm64).
I tried your suggested steps but GR still does not compile. Please find attached a text file containing the terminal session. Is there a way to make Julia provide more information on why GR does not compile (something like a compiler log)?

I can confirm that GR does compile on an iMac with M1 processor running OS Monterey 12.2 using the experimental macOS ARM version of Julia.
But what can be the reason that it does not compile on my MacBook Pro running High Sierra?

In the meantime, I found a macOS 10.13.6 host and could reproduce the problem. According to my tests, GR_jll requires at least macOS 10.14. This seems to be a problem with one of the dependencies provided by BinaryBuilder.jl.
With env JULIA_GR_PROVIDER=GR julia ... you can apparently ignore the error - at least I could generate plots. With this environment, "our" binaries are downloaded and used during run-time.

Many thanks for your prompt support!
I don’t know if there is a chance that BinaryBuilder will be improved to remedy this issue. If not, it may be worth to add a notice or warning that GR.jl requires at least macOS 10.14. That would save especially beginners like me from hours of frustration.
I am also seeing a precompile error. The error message is a bit more explicit:
ERROR: LoadError: ArgumentError: not a path: `C:\Users\DNF\.julia\packages\GR\KPElO\deps\deps.jl
And, indeed, there is no file deps.jl in that location, only a single file, build.jl.
This is with GR v0.63.1 and Julia v1.7.1 on Windows 10.
Adding a blank deps.jl file to this folder triggered a successful rebuild, and GR now seems to work. But it's a strange thing. I removed and re-added GR several times, updated Julia, etc. but nothing worked until I added that blank file.
I am also seeing a precompile error. The error message is a bit more explicit:

Same error for me on Windows:

After providing empty deps.jl file as @DNF2 suggested precompilation passes:
julia> using GR

Maybe it is worth considering adding empty deps\\deps.jl to source in this repo?
I'm running into the same issue but wasn't running into it a few months ago. Is there a official way to resolve this issue? It's harder for me to make changes like "create a deps.jl file" on a users machine.
I had to do this for this to work: ENV["JULIA_GR_REBUILD"] = true; using Pkg; Pkg.build("GR").
@kdheepak Suggestion didn't work for me.
I still end up with:
