Cant build

[fromnowhereuser]

Hello,

I am building againt ubuntu server 22 x86_64 GNU/Linux I am not able to build the binary. I have installed go, goreleaser, and build essential.

If a try a make: main.go:17:2: import "github.com/chirpstack/chirpstack-rest-api/ui" is a program, not an importable package

If i try a make dist ⨯ release failed after 2m6s error=failed to build for linux_amd64_v1: exit status 1: go: downloading github.com/goreleaser/goreleaser v1.10.2

I try to understand how gRPC call works, but, I have only few hours left to change version from 3 to 4 and i want to use this to handle the gap for the moment. Can you help me ?

Did you try to use make devshell before using make build as mentioned in the readme?

make devshell
> docker-compose run --rm chirpstack-rest-api bash
bash-5.1# make build
> mkdir -p build
> go build -a -installsuffix cgo -ldflags "-s -w -X main.version=13fedf8" -o build/chirpstack-rest-api main.go
....

is working for me.

Also maybe asked your question at https://forum.chirpstack.io/ for more help.

Thx you for the response, i did that too. the return of make build:

main.go:17:2: import "github.com/chirpstack/chirpstack-rest-api/ui" is a program, not an importable package

Something must be broken

Can you check your go-version with go version It should output something like this : go version go1.18.7 linux/amd64.

If you use make devshell you should be inside the docker-container which should be configured correctly. So no need to install everything locally as you stated in the first post:

I have installed go, goreleaser, and build essential.

Can you confirm that you are inside the docker-container?

@fromnowhereuser any updates on your side?

Please use the provided Docker Compose based development environment for compiling. You will find instructions in the README.md. This environment comes with all requirements pre-installed and is also used for the testing and release pipeline.
