Linux build error/is Linux supported?

[adamryczkowski]

It is never mentioned in the README, that Linux is supported by peco. If it is not, then please add that information explicitly in the README and ignore the rest of the issue.

On Ubuntu 16.04 I downloaded the current state of the repo (c93f2e424e5b from Thu Oct 25 23:28:48: "Merge pull request #465 from peco/topic/issue-462"), entered there and typed make build. I have go version 1.6.2.

make build

Does anyone knows a solution to this error?

I need peco as a dependency of another project in Julia. I do not know go.

[lestrrat]

From the build log I can tell that you're using go1.6 which doesn't have context package. Use a newer version (current version is go1.11.2)

[lestrrat]

BTW, I don't recommend you build peco by yourself. This is meant to be used as a binary, and it's much safer to use the pre-built versions found in the releases or in homebrew or other sources.
