More ccall() issues encountered when compiling with Julia 1.4 RC2

[wjenkins1]

Hi,

I have been using Julia 1.4 RC2 to compile Compose.jl (having done some minor modifications to overcome use of @eval and @require). However, I haven't been able to overcome the following errors possibly relating to Julia bug #34680. Does anyone have any advice or workaround? I note extra digits following the library names; are they necessary or perhaps part of the problem?

Thanks in advance.

Wayne.

@staticfloat suggests it might be the dashes or/and dots. We should try make a patch to Julia that replaces these and see what happens.

I think this should be fixed by https://reviews.llvm.org/D87099, if that get merged.

Thanks for making the PR and updating on the status.

I think this is fixed in the new LLVM
