I hacked something up over the last few days, you can see [it in all it's majesty](https://github.com/staticfloat/MakePkgUpdatePrecompileInTheBackground.jl), although it's not as seamless as I like due to us only having...

I agree that the approach in that package (and the modified Julia necessary) isn't a good one; using only one cursor is rife with problems, particularly when you have other...

@davidanthoff I just opened a PR with something really similar to Isaiah's patch in #24735

Here's how I would address this: When you save the preference out, you always normalize it to a full path. If the user edits a TOML to change the value...

After debugging this for a while on our CI system, I discovered that the fundamental error in our case was that `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` was set to include a different Julia installation's...

Nice. Some of these are doubtless the paths to `.jl` files that are stored in `.ji` files for invalidation. Since PackageCompiler usually doesn't bundle the source for packages, I think...

Oh, but this is a `.so`, not a `.ji`. Hmmm, do those paths still get embedded?

For things that are obviously inside of a depot, we could replace them with `${DEPOT_PATH}` or similar, and then provide substitution functions that search for `${DEPOT_PATH}` and just sub in...

This is because the `julia` executable needs to know the relative path to some of these binaries at buildtime. We currently 'hardcode" these here: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/fd8b2abb0bea04799204bfa5c95539544dc35cf3/Make.inc#L1504-L1516 It can be altered after...

> But in Windows the julia executable and the libraries are in the same folder (bin) so is this really needed there? This was added as a stepping stone toward...
