64 bit compilation issue? about drive

[odeke-em]

I think this is more of an issue to do with installing go on your system than with installing Drive. If you built go from source maybe take a look similar issues on StackOverflow raised about cross compilation.
Here is an article by Dave Cheney related to the topic:
http://dave.cheney.net/2013/07/09/an-introduction-to-cross-compilation-with-go-1-1
Otherwise here is a repo by him to provide help for cross compilation: https://github.com/davecheney/golang-crosscompile/blob/master/crosscompile.bash
Hope this can help.

Is that software insallable on linux ubuntu trsuty 64bits. When I try I can see it is downloading the software from the repo and compiling it but it looks like it stop before the building the exec.

Any help appreciated

@pdemilly Looks like it installed it. Did you remember to set your $GOPATH, as well as add your $GOPATH/bin to your $PATH (this is where the drive binary will be saved) ?
After adding this in, run drive and tell me what output you get.

[pdemilly]

@odeke-em : That's the issue. I can see that the project was checked out and that the project compiled correctly but no executable were created. If you look at the last line you get a drive.a (a lib I assume) created, but no exec. As expected when I type drive I get command not found. Also in $GOPATH/bin there is nothing.

go build ./cmd/drive
works for me (go version go1.2.1 linux/amd64)

[odeke-em]

@pdemilly makes sense, since you are installing the project's root. The correct way of getting as shown in the README.MD is go get github.com/rakyll/drive/cmd/drive instead of just from drive, you need to finish up with drive/cmd/drive.
@devsmt good catch!

@odeke-em I finally managed to update go, and now the previous error doesn't appear anymore, thanks.
However I still can't install drive. I tried either with the old rakyll and your new repository, but the problem now is something about version control.
For example, one of the many output statements of the go get command is:
package github.com/odeke-em/drive/cmd/drive
imports code.google.com/p/goauth2/oauth
imports flag: directory "/home/samvise/go/src/flag" is not using a known version control system

I searched around for this kind of error message, but I couldn't find any solution. Any suggestion?

thanks.

To be honest, I think reinstalling go from scratch should help sort this otherwise we shall have to keep going back and forth with patching things up, in which a lot might be missed. You can see how to do so here https://golang.org/doc/install. It should be something like a 6 step process. Hope this helps.
