Relocatability of GLMakie

[ValentinKaisermayer]

module MakieTestApp

using GLMakie

function julia_main()::Cint
    # do something based on ARGS?

    fig1 = Figure()
    ax1 = Axis(fig1[1, 1])
    lines!(ax1, cumsum(randn(100)))
    lines!(ax1, cumsum(randn(100)))
    lines!(ax1, cumsum(randn(100)))

    screen2 = GLMakie.Screen()
    display(screen2, fig1)

    fig2 = Figure()
    ax1 = Axis(fig2[1, 1])
    lines!(cumsum(randn(100)))
    lines!(cumsum(randn(100)))
    lines!(cumsum(randn(100)))

    screen1 = GLMakie.Screen()
    display(screen1, fig2)

    wait(screen1)
    wait(screen2)

    return 0 # if things finished successfully
end

end # module MakieTestApp

Building this and running it on another machine results in

SystemError: opening file "C:\\Users\\KaisermayerV\\.julia\\packages\\GLMakie\\QOOnq\\assets\\shader\\postprocessing/fullscreen.vert": No such file or directory

Have you tried fixing the part I pointed out?

[ValentinKaisermayer]

I tried

const SHADER_PATHS = Dict{String,RelocatableFolders.Path}()

# Turns out, loading shaders is so slow, that it actually makes sense to memoize it :-O
# when creating 1000 plots with the PlotSpec API, timing drop from 1.5s to 1s just from this change:
function shader_path(name)
    return get!(SHADER_PATHS, name) do
        return RelocatableFolders.@path joinpath(SHADER_DIR, name)
    end
end

I have a different error now:

I think that should get fixed by:

create_app(joinpath(pwd(), "MakieApp"), "executable"; force=true, incremental=true, include_transitive_dependencies=false)

(include_transitive_dependencies is the important argument).

[ValentinKaisermayer]

My build machine:

Platform Info:
  OS: Windows (x86_64-w64-mingw32)

and my test machine

[ValentinKaisermayer]

still the same error.

[SimonDanisch]

Ah, maybe it was actually include_lazy_artifacts=true
