如何在golang中包含我的log包而不是内置的log包？

Question

I have an log package in my project src folder. But when I include the log package from an another package as following, the go seams find the log in the system folder instead of my package.

import ("log")

And seams I cannot using relative path to import log package, because go install give following error:

local import "./log" in non-local package

So how can I let the go using my log package?

You need to add your package inside $GOPATH

So if your package is in

$GOPATH/src/github.com/ZijingWu/awesomeapp/src/

your log package would be in

$GOPATH/src/github.com/ZijingWu/awesomeapp/src/log

then it would be possible to use

import("github.com/ZijingWu/awesomeapp/src/log")

The paths seams a bit strange tho, and maybe you should consider adding the log package as a completely separate repository on github, so it would look something like.

import("github.com/ZijingWu/log")

Just using github as an example here, could of course be placed wherever, also just guessing at your username there. Doesnt need to be in github either you can just place it localy on your computer in the $GOPATH, but then noone else would be able to build your package.
