If you are in the directory above gowebapp
, then issue the command
go build ./gowebapp
Note the relative syntax. This is because the go tool works on import path names, that is names relative to $GOPATH/src
.
Another way to do what you want is to use the fully qualified import path of your package
go build github.com/dan-osineye/gowebapp
Lastly if you are inside $GOPATH/src/github.com/dan-osineye/gowebapp
then you can issue
go build
Without supplying an import path to build the source code in the current directory.
You should also research the difference between go build
and go install
, go build
is usually not the tool you want.
