Switching from gb to plain go - how?

Getting Help
1

I have a project (not mine!) written in Go, which uses gb to build it. It uses a fair amount of dependencies (“vendor” stuff).

Once go moved from 1.11 to 1.12, gb stopped working - it fails to link with the following errors:

golang.org/x/sys/unix.libc_close_trampoline·f: relocation target golang.org/x/sys/unix.libc_close_trampoline not defined for ABIInternal (but is defined for ABI0)
. . . . .
# yubihsm-connector
 yubihsm-connector
    
FATAL: command "build" failed: exit status 2

I would like to build this project manually, replicating what gb build would have done if it worked correctly. Unfortunately, as a complete beginner, I have no clue how Go build system works. Could you advise me on how to build this project manually? Just running go build caused some errors:

    $ go build
    main.go:30:2: cannot find package "github.com/kardianos/service" in any of:
        /usr/local/go/src/github.com/kardianos/service (from $GOROOT)
        . . . . . (from $GOPATH)
    . . . . .

so something must be missing - could you point me at what it is, and how to recreate it?

Thanks!

Have you checked where the package is actually located ? Did you get it before building ?
What are the values of your GOPATH and GOROOT environment variables ? Did you check if the package is lying there ?

Yes, all the packages seem to be downloaded and located in vendor/src subdirectory of the project, which is $HOME/src/yubihsm-connector.

$ env | grep GO
CGO_LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib
CGO_CFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include
GOARCH=amd64
GOROOT=/opt/local/lib/go
GOOS=darwin
GOPATH=/Users/ur20980/go
$

It’s a gb project, so the directory structure is:

--$HOME/src/
                 |
yubihsm-connector/
       |
       |
       --src/yubihsm-connector  (*.go files for the project itself)
       |
       |
       --vendor/
                 |
                 |
                 --src   (all the dependencies/packages)

You should have your project src directory under your GOPATH directory.

Is there any way around that? Maybe adding to GOPATH some path for the duration of go build?

Based on the above guidance, answering my own question: the following build command worked:

$ cd src/yubihsm-connector && GOPATH="${GOPATH}:${PWD}/vendor" go build

I haven’t experimented with

$ GOPATH="${GOPATH}:${PWD}/src:${PWD}/vendor" go build
