Precompiling a forked repo (or a local version of a package)

[yuwenchen95]

I'm working a forked repo from Clarabel.jl and want to precompile using the PackageCompiler.jl. However, I found PackageCompiler always redownload the original repo of Clarabel.jl and compile it, rather than compiling my forked repo in my local machine. May I ask how can I force PackageCompiler to compile my local version (or the forked repo)?

You would have it devved pkg> dev /path/to/Clarabel in your project and it should pick that up.

Thanks! I tried but found it is not enough that we also need to activate a local environment for it:

Pkg.activate(path/to/my_precompiled_wrapper)
Pkg.develop(path/to/local_Clarabel)

Not sure if the additional command comes from my julia command with --startup-file=no.

julia --startup-file=no --project=. -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.instantiate()'
