Unable to compile plan9 binary about go.rice

[GeertJohan]

Did you file an issue at osext? The best solution would be if osext gets plan9 compatibility..

[pksunkara]

They don't have issues page. Can you see if you can include that lib in your repo and edit them?

[GeertJohan]

I'd rather not do that, it would effectively mean that I must watch and update the upstream repo.
I think if you file a pull request with the fix for plan9 kardianos will merge it in. What is the problem with osext for plan9?

[pksunkara]

I don't think I can do that since I don't have the required knowledge. Here is the error I am getting.

# bitbucket.org/kardianos/osext
../../../bitbucket.org/kardianos/osext/osext_plan9.go:10: undefined: Open
../../../bitbucket.org/kardianos/osext/osext_plan9.go:10: undefined: itoa
../../../bitbucket.org/kardianos/osext/osext_plan9.go:10: undefined: Getpid

[GeertJohan]

Oh... well that just looks like wrong Go code to me..
Can you try replacing the contents of osext_plan9.go with this, please report if it works so I can file a PR at kardianos:

package osext

import (
    "syscall"
    "os"
    "strconv"
)

func executable() (string, error) {
    f, err := os.Open("/proc/" + strconv.Itoa(os.Getpid()) + "/text")
    if err != nil {
        return "", err
    }
    defer f.Close()
    return syscall.Fd2path(int(f.Fd()))
}

[pksunkara]

Yup, works now.

Thanks 😄

[GeertJohan]

Great!
I made a PR at osext: https://bitbucket.org/kardianos/osext/pull-request/2/fix-osext_plan9go

[GeertJohan]

The change just got merged in, if you reset osext and pull from bitbucket it should work.
