unable to build under dev 0.7

[kafisatz]

I ran into the issue below when trying to build (I came across this as I tried using JLD2)

I do not know much about binary dependincies; it is interesting to see that the error refers to a file of BinaryProvider though.

any ideas?

I can see the same problem on AppVeyor, both on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows (https://ci.appveyor.com/project/bicycle1885/codeczlib-jl/build/job/wkj8o5ckq2cj0dd0 and https://ci.appveyor.com/project/bicycle1885/codeczlib-jl/build/job/2we4o0q486fqpwtl).

@staticfloat, could you give us any suggestions, since it seems this problem happens when installing and building CodecZlib.jl via BinaryProvider.jl?

[ararslan]

Appears to be JuliaLang/julia#26685

[staticfloat]

Yep, that's exactly what it is. While we're waiting for that to be fixed, I've got a PR that should patch over it on the BinaryProvider end here: JuliaPackaging/BinaryProvider.jl#56

[bicycle1885]

Thank you all!

I think this is solved by BinaryProvider.jl v0.2.8. #19 still blocks installing CodecZlib.jl on Julia 0.7, but it is orthogonal to this problem
