Compiling from source: "undefined: netroute.New"

[jcea]

I am trying to compile "ipfs-go-0.6.0" in Solaris, no success:

[root@XXX /tmp/go-ipfs-0.6.0]# go version
go version go1.14.4 solaris/amd64

[root@XXX /tmp/go-ipfs-0.6.0]# make nofuse
go version go1.14.4 solaris/amd64
bin/check_go_version 1.14.2
plugin/loader/preload.sh > plugin/loader/preload.go
go fmt plugin/loader/preload.go >/dev/null
go build  "-asmflags=all='-trimpath='" "-gcflags=all='-trimpath='" -ldflags="-X "github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs".CurrentCommit=" -tags="nofuse" -o "cmd/ipfs/ipfs" "github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/cmd/ipfs"

I can not program "go", so I can not do futher progress by myself.

Help!.

Thanks

@jcea the netroute library (https://github.com/libp2p/go-netroute) helps with figuring out network information which is useful in determining things like what IP address + port combinations your node tells other nodes about and deciding whether the DHT should run in client or server mode in the default configuration.

Since this low level information is platform specific and not just handed to us by Go this error means there is not yet an implementation for Solaris.

@willscott any idea if this is easy to do?

I don't program "go", but I will be happy to test whatever source code you provide and I have pretty deep Solaris sysadmin skills.

Recommendations on somewhere to spin up a solaris VM to test against? without that it's gonna be a bit of blind guessing.

My guess is that the solaris syscall API looks like it'll be closest to linux so we'll add it in the buildtags here https://github.com/libp2p/go-netroute/blob/master/netroute_linux.go#L7
