Failed on MacOS

[mrinalwadhwa]

Very cool project @wojtekmach !
I tried it on a mac and got the below error, thought I'd leave a note here .. maybe it'll be helpful.

On my machine libcrypto is at /Users/mrinal/.homebrew/opt/[email protected]/lib/libcrypto.1.1.dylib and not at /usr/local/opt/[email protected]/lib/libcrypto.1.1.dylib

Thanks for the report. This is because the OTP used in that executable dynamically links openssl from homebrew, the paths must match exactly.

I'm working on getting proper macOS images upstream, see erlang/otp#5036.

[wojtekmach]

And thanks for trying out elixir-run! Just fyi, there are some problems with the current design. Because we are building a release, only the OTP apps that we specify ahead of time would be available in the release. So we'd need to include all of them in case the user wants to use them. The release runs in embedded mode by default whereas we more likely want to run in interactive mode. Both of these issues are hurdles to "just use Elixir" like in your dev machine. I have some ideas how to solve them though, stay tuned!

@wojtekmach any update on this? Also wanna to try this cools project
