Also, would it be possible to build julia inside the docker container mentioned in the readme with gfortran and just ship the binary to termux?

if we could manage to build julia in the docker container we could distribute the binary using fornwall's termux, correct?

why not?

Can't we just test it and make sure it works?

Could you share the results of profiling Gadfly? I think this is a high priority issue since the time till first plot is excessive.

I tried adding ``` precompile(Gadfly.stringmime, (AbstractString, Void)) precompile(Gadfly.stringmime, (MIME{Symbol("text/html")}, Void)) ``` to `precompile.jl`, but it didn't seem to make a difference in speed.

Ah. Adding `stringmime("text/html", plot(x=1:5, y=1:5, Geom.line))` to `precompile.jl` didn't make a difference, while `stringmime(MIME{Symbol("text/html")}, plot(x=1:5, y=1:5, Geom.line))` crashes: ``` ERROR: LoadError: MethodError: no method matching stringmime(::Type{MIME{Symbol("text/html")}}, ::Gadfly.Plot) Closest candidates are:...

@bjarthur I remember trying to pin down whether it was being caused by the separation between Gadfly and Compose, but I wasn't able to pin it down exactly. @timholy Why...
