Thanks for reporting this error here. Where did you get the /root/go1.4 bootstrap from ?

go version go1.4.2 freebsd/amd64 is installed from ports and since make.bash reports error when /root/go1.4 is not there. So it is symlink to /usr/local/go

Can you please try

env GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP=/usr/local/go ./make.bash

Same here.

I'm suspecting something is wrong with the copy of go that ports has
provided you. Can you please check out a fresh one from source

$ git clone -b release-branch.go1.4 https://go.googlesource.com/go go1.4
$ cd go1.4/src
$ ./make.bash

Please take extra care that the version of go from ports is not on your $PATH.

Thanks

Dave

I've tested this procedure on my freebsd-10.1 system and cannot replicate the problem you are having. I used go1.4 from source as described above, not freebsd ports.

Thanks

Dave

Thanks, it builds.

However had to copy go binary to go1.4/bin directory to build golang head version.

You need to fix this error, by building go 1.4 first

This is a mistake, please don't do this, it will make future debugging harder.

Yes, I built go1.4 first by running make.bash:

...

---

Installed Go for freebsd/amd64 in /home/tsgan/go1.4

Installed commands in /home/tsgan/go/bin

> ./make.bash: line 121: /home/tsgan/go1.4/bin/go: No such file or directory

But when trying to build head version of golang it complains go binary doesn't exist in above mentioned path.

I believe this is because you have GOBIN set. Please don't set GOBIN.
