Compile error

[Hax0rG1rl]

Hi,

Just had a try of your toy but first compile action gave me an error.

"./main.go:286: undefined: bufio.NewScanner"

Platform: Kali 64 bit. go compiler installed by using "apt-get install golang"

Any ideas of how that can be resolved?

The NewScanner directive is located only with that line, 286, so I suppose you would know better what's going on at that point.

Thanks.

This won't build on Kali with the default go setup. You'll have to install a more up-to-date go environment.

Either that or build it on another machine :) But yeah, Kali is your problem. Cheers!

To be clear, I meant that you needed to download and install the go tools from golang.org or through a more up to date deb package. The one in the Kali repo is outdated. Thanks!

For what its worth:

• Kali 1.x was based on Debian 7 - uses golang 1.0.
• Kali 2.x is based on Debian 8 - uses golang 1.3.

...Not sure what the minimum golang is (somewhere between 1.1 - 1.3).

Kali 1

root@kali:~/gobuster# go build
# _/root/gobuster
./main.go:286: undefined: bufio.NewScanner

Kali 2

root@kali:~/gobuster# go build

Thanks @g0tmi1k. I got it installed over a Ubuntu 14 LTS VM and is working properly right now :)
