Installation error - cannot use "github.com/boltdb/bolt".Options literal

[karibuTW]

Hello, I've installed Go 1.10, following this tutorial (For Debian 9) https://tecadmin.net/install-go-on-debian/ and I'm trying now to install goploader, however when I run go get github.com/Depado/goploader/server or go build github.com/Depado/goploader/server

I have the following error:

# github.com/Depado/goploader/server/database
Projects/Proj1/src/github.com/Depado/goploader/server/database/database.go:18:79: cannot use "github.com/boltdb/bolt".Options literal (type *"github.com/boltdb/bolt".Options) as type *"github.com/coreos/bbolt".Options in argument to storm.BoltOptions

And thus I don't see the .server binary.

Any advice?

Thank you

You need to fetch the right version of the dependencies. The easiest way is to use dep:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/golang/dep/master/install.sh | sh
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/Depado/goploader/
dep ensure

Thank you,

So on the installation steps, you confirm I should do:

go get github.com/Depado/goploader/server
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/golang/dep/master/install.sh | sh
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/Depado/goploader/
dep ensure
go build github.com/Depado/goploader/server

? Because doing so will trigger this issue:

go build github.com/Depado/goploader/server: build output "server" already exists and is a directory

Not sure what should be the correction.

Thank you

Almost. You are trying to create the binary server in the folder $GOPATH/src/github.com/Depado/goploader but the directory server already exists there. So either give the server a different name or go to a different directory before building.

go build -o ~/goploader-server github.com/Depado/goploader/server

Or you can also

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/Depado/goploader/server
$ go build

Or look at the Makefile and simply make (this will also compile the client)

@karibuTW Did that solve your issue ? Can I close it ?
