Go path returns error

[ren-kun]

go get github.com/bwmarrin/discordgo

golang.org/x/crypto/poly1305

/usr/local/go/src/golang.org/x/crypto/poly1305/sum_amd64.s:8 6a: No such file or directory: textflag.h

github.com/gorilla/websocket

/usr/local/go/src/github.com/gorilla/websocket/compression.go:95: undefined: sync.Pool

How do I fix this? Did I do something wrong?

[Necroforger]

You might be using an older version of go. You could try updating. Type go version to see the version you're on right now. I see go version go1.9.3 windows/amd64 for mine

Sync.pool was introduced in go version 1.3

[ren-kun]

I uninstalled Go and tried it again. But i get this output for version:

go version xgcc (Ubuntu 4.9.3-0ubuntu4) 4.9.3 linux/amd64

Perhaps I missed a step?

[ren-kun]

Ahh.... I have two types of go's

sudo apt-get remove gccgo

worked and i had to rego the PATHs

[ren-kun]

I get:

warning: GOPATH set to GOROOT (/usr/local/go) has no effect

Now, is that an error

[Necroforger]

Yeah, you can't download packages to the same place your root go files are installed. So you need to set your GOPATH to something else, like ~/godata

[ren-kun]

So I change export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin

to something like: export PATH=$PATH:/var/Something

[Necroforger]

You need to export GOPATH=/home/something

and all your downloaded packages and executeables will go there.

You also need to export PATH=$PATH;/home/something/bin/

[ren-kun]

Thanks!

Now i get:

can't load package: package .: no Go files in /folder/here

when building go

[Necroforger]

Can you go get github.com/bwmarrin/discordgo

[ren-kun]

Yes I did the command and it seems to have worked (No error returned)

Just "can't load package: package .: no Go files in /folder" still. when

"go build"

[Necroforger]

Make sure your terminal is in the right directory and that the package you're building has package main at the top of all the go files if you want to build an executeable.

I will get the same error if I try to use go build in my home directory, which contains no go files.

Usually when working on projects you will want to create them under your github name or something in your GOPATH. So a good project directory would be something like $GOPATH/src/github.com/yourname/project

[ren-kun]

Where is the right directory? For example I go get..

go get github.com/bwmarrin/discordgo go get github.com/joho/godotenv

where would i go to compile it? I think I am not trying to build an executable. Pardon if I can not post other git links here but I'm just trying to do follow "https://github.com/FactoKit/FactoCord"

[Necroforger]

When you go get github.com/FactoKit/FactoCord it should build an executeable and place it in $GOPATH/bin.

Otherwise you would have to

cd "$GOPATH/src/github.com/FactoKit/FactoCord"
go build

which would produce an executeable called FactoCord in the current directory.

So to run you would just type FactoCord if $GOPATH/bin is exported.

[ren-kun]

Ahh I see... So i did the following and tried to do it on my own but i did:

$ sudo gedit ~/.bashrc

Added the following config

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin export GOPATH=/var/Server/go; export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin;

$ source ~/.bashrc $ go get github.com/bwmarrin/discordgo

I then look at : /var/Server/go/bin

And its empty.

I do see /var/Server/go/src/github.com/FactoKit/FactoCord"

and continue to..

$ go build

and it returns:

main.go:17:2: local import "./commands" in non-local package main.go:18:2: local import "./commands/admin" in non-local package main.go:16:2: local import "./support" in non-local package.

When I look in /var/Server/go/src/github.com All I see is FactoKit and the other go gets are not there,

Did i do something incorrectly?

[Necroforger]

You're not really supposed to use local imports in go/ Sounds like a library issue

[ren-kun]

Could you explain what a Library issue is, so i can further understand?

[Necroforger]

Import paths should be in the form of github.com/yourname/project/package Or be in a special vendor folder like vendor/app/package then you can import as app/package in your project

[ren-kun]

Ahhh! I see them now, strange it took a while to show up.

So where do I navigate now to "go build"?

OH... i go into every folder...

[Necroforger]

Enter the FactoKit/FactoCord directory and type go build

[ren-kun]

Ahh thankyou soooo much @Necroforger !!!

Everything built except the factocord which returned the same error:

main.go:17:2: local import "./commands" in non-local package main.go:18:2: local import "./commands/admin" in non-local package main.go:16:2: local import "./support" in non-local package.

Perhaps I should try an older pull of factocord..

Can I buy you a coffee?

[Necroforger]

You should just need to replace the lines at https://github.com/FactoKit/FactoCord/blob/master/main.go#L16 with

"github.com/FactoKit/FactoCord/support"
"github.com/FactoKit/FactoCord/commands"
"github.com/FactoKit/FactoCord/commands/admin"

To get it working

[ren-kun]

That did it!

Once again I thank-you!
