Hello guys , i'm following this tutorial : https://golang.org/doc/install?download=go1.6.1.windows-amd64.msi i'm on Windows.
I done all instruction to "go install github.com/user/hello" , i have set up my "environnement path".I don't understand why the CMD return to me this :
I wrote GOPATH %HOME%\work
PATH C:\Go\bin
On the environnement variables.
I wrote a directory to : C:\%HOME%\work\src\github.com\user\hello and the file named hello.go with good instruction.
I wrote C:\Go\%HOME%\work\src\github.com\user\hello and the file named hello.go with good instruction.
i wrote C:\Go\src\%HOME%\work\src\github.com\user\hello and the file named hello.go with good instruction.
Cause i didn't know where to put this.
I think i followed well the instruction but i may miss something .. So can you explain te me what happen ?
I tanks you a lot (I'm french so maybe a none comprehension of something ? :O)
Could you explain me how obtains my exectuable ? Thx !!!! =) Guys !!

"go: GOPATH entry is relative; must be absolute path: "%HOME%\\work".
Run 'go help gopath' for usage ."I wrote GOPATH %HOME%\work
PATH C:\Go\bin
On the environnement variables.

This error tells you everything you need to know. If your name is matthew and your home folder is /home/matthew, you must use /home/matthew, instead of $HOME.
In your case, this means using something like c:\users\matthew\work instead of %HOME%\\work.

You must not use %HOME% on Windows, for GOPATH.
The install documentation should probably be improved, with well distinct sections for UNIX systems and Windows.
I found GOPATH one of the most confusing thing of Go for a newbie (including myself when I start learning Go).
