Hi friends! I’m new to depstar and having a bit of trouble building a library jar file. I get a FileNotFoundException and neither the message or trace are helping to narrow down the possibilities. Repo: https://github.com/6pages/datomic-utils

> clojure -X:jar :jar MyLib.jar
Execution error (FileNotFoundException) at java.io.FileInputStream/open0 (FileInputStream.java:-2).
-X:jar (No such file or directory)

@adamtait Your clojure CLI is too old. Run clojure -Sdescribe to see what version you have installed.

Per the depstar README: > Note: these instructions assume you have at least version 1.10.1.727 of the Clojure CLI installed. See Clojure Tools Releases for details about the functionality in recent CLI releases. https://clojure.org/releases/tools is the link for Clojure Tools Releases

The current stable version is 1.10.3.855. Support for -X was added back in October last year.

The symptom is -X:jar (No such file or directory) — which says the clojure script tried to run the first argument (as a Clojure script) because it didn’t recognize it as an option. The stacktrace shows this error is not coming from depstar.

Thanks much! Upgrading clojure CLI did the trick. Somehow I read that but didn’t think I might have an old version.

(I’m currently testing 1.10.3.875 which is a prerelease with the new multi-exec function support that Alex talked about at clojureD last week 🙂 )
