I'd like to contribute to an OSS project built with go
, but I'm having hard time compiling it. It looks as if I'm missing something obvious.
I think the problem is related to how go
is installed on my computer, and not to the project itself, thus I'm posting it here on StackOverflow, instead of project's "Issues" section.
Below is what I'm doing.
-
I've installed
go
usinghomebrew
:$ brew install go
