You need go to install go? #323

Shardj commented 5 years ago

Running gvm install go1.12.6 (or any version) gets me

Installing go1.12.6...
 * Compiling...
/home/{myname}/.gvm/scripts/install: line 84: go: command not found
ERROR: Failed to compile. Check the logs at /home/{myname}/.gvm/logs/go-go1.12.6-compile.log
ERROR: Failed to use installed version

The log gives me

Building Go cmd/dist using /home/{myname}/go1.4.
ERROR: Cannot find /home/{myname}/go1.4/bin/go.
Set $GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP to a working Go tree >= Go 1.4.

You could install the binary rather than building from source:

gvm install go1.12.5 -B

OSX users should see if these steps https://github.com/moovweb/gvm/issues/307#issuecomment-432909339 fix their Issues.

Likely this Issue can be Closed, as this issue is mentioned in the README. https://github.com/moovweb/gvm#a-note-on-compiling-go-15

I'm going to be taking over as maintainer of this project and would like some feedback from the community. How would you feel about having binary install as the default and adding a -S flag to install from source?

Today I used gvm install go1.14.2 -B and this work well. Because I tried to use gvm install go1.14.2 but this was taking looong time and does not finished. I want to understand why. Thanks for all!

@SamZapata It takes a long time because it tries to build a binary using the Golang sourcecode.

On the other hand, -B downloads a pre-built binary.
