无法从源代码安装Go-Ipfs

Question

I'm trying to Build IPFS from Source on windows 10.

Previously i installed it from source.It was working fine. But i needed the latest source so i started again from the scratch. because i edited some parts in the source.

I followed instructions on https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/blob/master/docs/windows.md.

I received following error on executing following commands.

code

cd %GOPATH%\src\github.com\ipfs\go-ipfs
make install

Error

go version go1.12.6 windows/amd64
bin/check_go_version 1.12
go install  -asmflags=all=-trimpath="D:\GO_WORKSPACE" -gcflags=all=-trimpath="D:\GO_WORKSPACE" -ldflags="-X "github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs".CurrentCommit=810cb607e-dirty" ./cmd/ipfs
# github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/plugin/loader
plugin\loader\preload.go:11:2: undefined: pluginipldgit
plugin\loader\preload.go:12:2: undefined: pluginbadgerds
plugin\loader\preload.go:13:2: undefined: pluginflatfs
plugin\loader\preload.go:14:2: undefined: pluginlevelds
make: *** [cmd/ipfs/Rules.mk:37: cmd/ipfs-install] Error 2

I tried Adding this plugins in to preload.go file under src\github.com\ipfs\go-ipfs\plugin\loader directory.

exisiting code on preload.go.

import (
    "github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/plugin"
)

i added after the issue

import (
    "github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/plugin"
    pluginipldgit "github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/plugin/plugins/git"
    pluginbadgerds "github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/plugin/plugins/git"
    pluginflatfs "github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/plugin/plugins/git"
    pluginlevelds "github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/plugin/plugins/git"
)

so after i added this lines result is success.

Executed command

make install

Result

go version go1.12.6 windows/amd64
bin/check_go_version 1.12
go install  -asmflags=all=-trimpath="D:\GO_WORKSPACE" -gcflags=all=-trimpath="D:\GO_WORKSPACE" -ldflags="-X "github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs".CurrentCommit=810cb607e-dirty" ./cmd/ipfs

Then i tried to start the ipfs using following command

ipfs daemon

Error

Initializing daemon...
go-ipfs version: 0.4.22-dev-810cb607e-dirty
Repo version: 7
System version: amd64/windows
Golang version: go1.12.6

Error: unknown datastore type: flatfs
