Install error: -mod=vendor -x -work flag provided but not defined: -mod

[LorenAmelang]

I was all excited to find a clipboard tool with both Linux and iOS connections!

But:

ubuntu@arm:~/builds/midgard$ make
go build -o mg -ldflags="-X changkun.de/x/midgard/internal/version.GitVersion=v0.0.9 -X changkun.de/x/midgard/internal/version.BuildTime=2023-07-20T16:52:29-0700" -mod=vendor -x -work
flag provided but not defined: -mod

"The build flags are shared by the build, install, run, and test commands:" No list item for "-mod"...

Maybe this server is too old: Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.8.13-bone56 armv7l)

But I just installed go, it wasn't here before, and didn't get errors...

Get:1 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ trusty/universe golang-src armhf 2:1.2.1-2ubuntu1 [4,727 kB]

Get:3 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ trusty/universe golang-go armhf 2:1.2.1-2ubuntu1 [7,264 kB]

I found this but it is way beyond my go knowledge: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75090216/go-build-mod-mod-with-no-go-mod

Is there any way to make this work?

[changkun]

does removing -mod work for you?

[LorenAmelang]

Sorry is this is a hopeless newbie question, but where would I remove -mod? I haven't found where that command is stored...

[changkun]

Try to remove -mod=vendor from here then make?

Tried that, thanks! But:

Would be fun to learn more about go someday, but right now I need to move on to other projects... I made a system with sshfs and various shortcuts that seems to do what I need.

Close as not an issue.
