Initially posted this on the Ethereum forum but feel that there might be more knowledge of the issue here as it is a Golang/git package installation issue
I am trying to compile smart contracts using the go-ethereum client.
I have go installed on my pc and installed ran the following commands:
go get -u github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/
make
Which all work fine.
When I run
make devtools
I get the following error:
Pros-MacBook-Pro:go-ethereum Santi$ make devtools
env GOBIN= go get -u golang.org/x/tools/cmd/stringer
# cd /Users/pro/go/src/golang.org/x/tools; git pull --ff-only

Aborting
Updating 73e16cff..d74aaa1f
package golang.org/x/tools/cmd/stringer: exit status 1
make: *** [devtools] Error 1
Hoping that this wasnt too serious, I tries creating my go file with the following line:
abigen -abi=Store.abi --pkg=store --out=Store.go
bash: abigen: command not found
I suspect this has to do with my failed install and will appreciate any pointers on this
