Error building: modules.go:11:2: cannot find package

[phlegx]

I'm trying to build logspout with your module enabled as described in the README. Here is my quick and dirty shellscript with the actions I take:

#!/bin/bash

# Remove previously cloned directory
rm -rf logspout
git clone git@github.com:gliderlabs/logspout.git
cp config/modules.go logspout/
cd logspout && docker build -t logspout .

My custom modules.go file contains this:

package main

import (
    _ "github.com/gliderlabs/logspout/adapters/raw"
    _ "github.com/gliderlabs/logspout/adapters/syslog"
    _ "github.com/gliderlabs/logspout/httpstream"
    _ "github.com/gliderlabs/logspout/routesapi"
    _ "github.com/gliderlabs/logspout/transports/tcp"
    _ "github.com/gliderlabs/logspout/transports/udp"
    _ "github.com/gliderlabs/logspout/transports/tls"
    _ "github.com/micahhausler/logspout-gelf"
)

But I get the error:

modules.go:11:2: cannot find package "github.com/micahhausler/logspout-gelf" in any of:
    /go/src/github.com/gliderlabs/logspout/vendor/github.com/micahhausler/logspout-gelf (vendor tree)
    /usr/lib/go/src/github.com/micahhausler/logspout-gelf (from $GOROOT)
    /go/src/github.com/micahhausler/logspout-gelf (from $GOPATH)

Any ideas? thank you in advance!

You have to add the logspout-gelf line to custom/modules.go, not to the modules.go in the root dir. br enrico

@enricocanardi You can just follow this HOWTO. Worked for me: https://github.com/gliderlabs/logspout/tree/master/custom

Yep, faced the same problem. Should write it in Build section of this repo doc section

To build, you'll need to fork Logspout, add the following code to custom/modules.go

Thx anyway
