Explain build process #4

Closed xipmix closed 8 years ago

xipmix commented 8 years ago

Can you explain how to build this more clearly? I've never used go before and the conventions are weird. I tried this

mkdir -p ~/gocode/bin
mkdir ~/gocode/src
cd ~/gocode/src
go get -u github.com/cybozu-go/aptutil
go install -v github.com/cybozu-go/aptutil

and nothing happens. I tried

 go build -v github.com/cybozu-go/aptutil/cacher

and got a face full of errors about missing dependencies.

Please try:

go get -u github.com/cybozu-go/aptutil/...
go install github.com/cybozu-go/aptutil/...

@ymmt2005 Maybe we should consider distributing pre-built binaries for those who are not familiar with Go. I guess Travis can do it: https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/deployment/releases

ymmt2005 commented 8 years ago

@yutannihilation Agreed. PR is welcome :-)

As I explained in my request I tried that. To me, the ellipsis (...) means 'something goes here'. Do you mean I should use exactly the commands above, including the ... ? Or are you using the ... as short-hand for something else. If so, please can you explain what that something else is.

I think a good start would be a shell script that can be run from inside a git clone of this repository, that builds the code for you in your environment. It would need to include example settings of GOPATH if those are needed. That should be enough to get the curious going.

@xipmix Use exactly the commands including "..." literally. "..." specifies all sub packages under the directory for Go.

Ah! Thank you. This patch may help avoid such questions in future.

Use Go 1.6 or better. +Run the command below exactly as shown, including the ellipsis. +They are significant - see 'go help packages'.

Great, thank you! I will update README.md later.
