Fyne GUI Example does not compile

Getting Help Code Review
1

Hello Everyone

I am trying to add a GUI to my GoLang-Program and I thought Fyne (https://github.com/fyne-io/fyne) looks nice, so I installed it:

go get fyne.io/fyne/v2
 go get fyne.io/fyne/v2/cmd/fyne_demo/

Which worked fine. But then I tried to run the demo or one of their example-codes:

package main

import (
	"fyne.io/fyne/v2/app"
	"fyne.io/fyne/v2/container"
	"fyne.io/fyne/v2/widget"
)

func main() {
	a := app.New()
	w := a.NewWindow("Hello")

	hello := widget.NewLabel("Hello Fyne!")
	w.SetContent(container.NewVBox(
		hello,
		widget.NewButton("Hi!", func() {
			hello.SetText("Welcome :)")
		}),
	))

	w.ShowAndRun()
}

Now, when I try to compile it just nothing happens, it just compiles forever. I am using the GoLand IDE on Windows 10. My hardware is not top notch, but I don’t think that this is the issue…

Is there anything else I have to consider first before I can run Fyne? It also doesn’t need to be fyne, just a GUI Library that is not too hard to use.

Thank you guys for your help.

Cheers,

Gabe

It worked for me on Win 10 compiling from the command line, but it took a couple of minutes during which antimalware was dominating the CPU usage, but that’s not unusual.
