goinstall install failed on GOPATH

[dlin]

I don't have root permission, but want to install package.

So,

export GOPATH=$HOME/gocode
goinstall -v -clean github.com/ajstarks/svgo

and I found $HOME/gocode/pkg/linux_386/github.com/ajstarks/svgo.a

But, I don't know why my program can not find the svgo library by
import it.

import "github.com/ajstarks/svgo"

the install log here

what is the error you are seeing in your program?  Can you post a simple example?

[Andrew Gerrand]

It looks like svgo is installed correctly, but how are you building your program?

Goinstall is the only build tool that understands GOPATH. If you are building your Go program with make, it won't work. Put your program in $GOPATH/src/dlin/foo and run "goinstall dlin/foo" to build it.

Andrew, you are right.

I use make to make my program and my programs on other directory.

I'll try your method.
But, It is a little difficult. Because I use many Makefile function.

[dlin]

Why just goinstall support GOPATH?

Will the default compiler, link support GOPATH in the future?

What's goc?

2011/8/17 ajstarks <ajst...@gmail.com>

Note that if your program is simple, you can just do:

goc foo 

to build from and executable foo from foo.go, where goc is something like:

     6g -I . $i.go && 6l -L . -o $i $i.6 

(change 6g  and 6l to the compiler and linker that you use)

Also, you can use goplay as described in http://mindchunk.blogspot.com/2011/05/svgo-and-google-web-fonts.html to interactively build and see the pictures that your program draws.

The goinstall tool uses GCIMPORTS and LDIMPORTS internally. So, this
should work (haven't tried it myself):

export GOPATH=$HOME/gocode
export GCIMPORTS="-I $GOPATH"
export LDIMPORTS="-L $GOPATH"
make

[Andrew Gerrand]

We intend to replace the 'gomake' shell script (which invokes make) with a version of goinstall.

If you want to use Make with a GOPATH you can use the technique described by \xe2\x9a\x9b with GCIMPORTS and LDIMPORTS, but that won't be supported forever.

Make isn't great. We're trying to get rid of it.

go-gb.googlecode.com also supports GOPATH.

1. It is successful when I move the svgo_ex.go to $GOPATH's subdirectory. And use 'goinstall' to install.

2. It is failed by manual keyin command.

  8g -I . svgo_ex.go && 8l -L . -o svgo_ex svgo_ex.8

svgo_ex.go:4: can't find import: github.com/ajstarks/svgo

no.  just copy:

#!/bin/sh

for i in $*

do

6g -I . $i.go && 6l -L . -o $i $i.6 

done

into a file, call it goc, make it executable, place it in your PATH.
