Building MongoDB Tools From Source failed

[Astro]

I am building mongodb tools from source using the official document.

I have setup go 1.5.2.

Set GOROOT to /xvdh/go

Set PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

Executed ./set_gopath.sh from mongo-tools directory.

Also while building mongoimport using go build -o bin/mongoimport mongoimport/main/mongoimport.go

Getting following error:

mongoimport/main/mongoimport.go:6:2: cannot find package "github.com/mongodb/mongo-tools/common/db" in any of:

        /usr/local/go/src/github.com/mongodb/mongo-tools/common/db (from $GOROOT)

        ($GOPATH not set)

Do I need to set GOPATH again? echo $GOPATH returns nothing. Any help?

Hi Astro,

When you run the set_gopath.sh script, it only sets the $GOPATH in a subshell, and it only valid within the context of that subshell.

Try running this instead:

source ./set_gopath.sh

or

. ./set_gopath.sh

I’ll create a JIRA ticket to update the docs for this.

Kind regards,

Wan

Thanks, Wan.

That solves this issue.
