unrecognized import paths error while using go get

[Amandeep Gautam]

Hi,
   I installed gccgo on Solaris 11.3 using: sudo /opt/csw/bin/pkgutil -y -i gcc5core

Below is the output of go-5.5 env:

amandeep@s113ldom1:~$ go-5.5 env

GOARCH="sparc"

GOBIN=""

GOCHAR=""

GOEXE=""

GOHOSTARCH="sparc"

GOHOSTOS="solaris"

GOOS="solaris"

GOPATH="/home/amandeep/"

GORACE=""

GOROOT="/opt/csw"

GOTOOLDIR="/opt/csw/libexec/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/5.5.0"

CC="/opt/csw/bin/gcc-5.5"

GOGCCFLAGS="-fPIC -fmessage-length=0"

CXX="/opt/csw/bin/g++-5.5"

CGO_ENABLED="0"

I get unrecognized path error while trying to get a package:

amandeep@s113ldom1:~$ go-5.5 get github.com/dgrijalva/jwt-go

package bytes: unrecognized import path "bytes"

package crypto: unrecognized import path "crypto"

package crypto/ecdsa: unrecognized import path "crypto/ecdsa"

package crypto/hmac: unrecognized import path "crypto/hmac"

package crypto/rand: unrecognized import path "crypto/rand"

package crypto/rsa: unrecognized import path "crypto/rsa"

package crypto/subtle: unrecognized import path "crypto/subtle"

package crypto/x509: unrecognized import path "crypto/x509"

package encoding/base64: unrecognized import path "encoding/base64"

package encoding/json: unrecognized import path "encoding/json"

package encoding/pem: unrecognized import path "encoding/pem"

package errors: unrecognized import path "errors"

package fmt: unrecognized import path "fmt"

package math/big: unrecognized import path "math/big"

package runtime: unrecognized import path "runtime"

package strings: unrecognized import path "strings"

package sync: unrecognized import path "sync"

package time: unrecognized import path "time"

Most of the other resources online suggest that it might be because of inappropriately set GOROOT, but I haven't modified it.

After a little bit of digging I found that the .gox files are located in : /opt/csw/lib/go/5.5.0/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/

For example, bytes.gox lives at /opt/csw/lib/go/5.5.0/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/bytes.gox

Not sure what should be the correct settings here. Any suggestion appreciated.

Unfortunately I suspect that go get just doesn't work with that old
version. The current version is GCC 8; go get should work with that
version.
