Did you try it with Julia nightly build? I think the new main entry point format runs on nightly build only

No. I will try it later. Thank you very much!

[jbytecode]

Please tell me if it is okay when you tried it out using the nightly build.

If you are using juliaup then

juliaup add nighlty

setups the required stuff automatically. The makefile compiles the stuff as expected.

Thank you in advance.

Don’t worry—I’ll update you after testing. I’m really looking forward to the early release of the juliac tool because I’ve already developed a software (OmiGA) using Julia. However, the executable file is too large, and cross-platform compilation remains challenging.

[jbytecode]

Please not that, the juliac functionality in its current form, compiles to dynamically linked executables, that is, the binary (exe) is still depended on the Julia runtime. Although the executable is small in size, the user will still need a Julia installation.
