Build fails on Julia 0.7.0, Win64 (user account)

[PaulSoderlind]

When updating HDF5.jl today (15 Aug), the build of LibCURL failed (see below). It only seems to happen when logged in as a User, not as an Administrator.

Could this perhaps be the symlink issue that also appeared at

JuliaIO/CodecZlib.jl#24

In that case it can be solved by not using symlinks in the packaged binaries.

That's a good idea @krcools; I bet if @omus changes the version of ZlibBuilder that he grabs to be v1.0.2 instead of v1.0.1, this will work better.

[omus]

I'll make that change. Having the builders setup as packages would be nice avoid having to do these kinds of manual updates. Thanks for pointing that out.

[omus]

Can you check if this problem still occurs with these changes: #48?

Same situation.

Win10 64bit user-login
Julia 0.7.0
No error when run as Admin

[PaulSoderlind]

Same result here (using the current LibCURL#master, 16 Aug 08:16 GMT)

[krcools]

I think it is in fact exactly the same issue as for CodecZLib. There, @bicycle1885 updated the builder. PR #49 refers to that new build.

[krcools]

Ah sorry you just did those changes. Not sure why people continue to see the bug. I had to start from a clean install. Maybe that's why...

The deps.jl script seems to cache some of the binary dependency builder scripts so it kept using the old sources even though deps.jl was updated.

[omus]

Thanks for verifying the new changes. I'll merge the PR and make a new tag. With the new tag I expect everyone will have a clean install.

Should now be addressed in v0.3.1. The release just needs to be registered so I'll close this issue. Feel free to open if the problem persists.
