Description:

I am trying to build ipfs without downloading gx and gx-go as binary executables.

I did the following:

 ipfs@particle  ~  echo $GOPATH
/home/ipfs/go/
 ipfs@particle  ~  rm -rf $GOPATH
 ipfs@particle  ~  go get github.com/whyrusleeping/gx github.com/whyrusleeping/gx-go github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs
 ipfs@particle  ~  cd go/src/github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs
 ipfs@particle  ~/go/src/github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs   master  sed -i "s#gx_bin=bin/gx-v0.9.0#gx_bin=$GOPATH/bin/gx#" Makefile         
 ipfs@particle  ~/go/src/github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs   master ●  sed -i "s#gx-go_bin=bin/gx-go-v1.3.0#gx-go_bin=$GOPATH/bin/gx-go#" Makefile

However, when I try to make it, I get this:

 ipfs@particle  ~/go/src/github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs   master ●  make install
/home/ipfs/go//bin/gx --verbose install --global

Any idea of what I could do to make this work?

(Sorry if my question is actually about gx; I can close this issue and open an other one at gx's repo if you want.)

You can build/install manually as of here https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs#building-on-less-common-systems

mateon1 · 2016-09-18T14:52:57Z

/cc @whyrusleeping - The final error in the OP is very similar to what I experienced with the gx corruption I mentioned on IRC. (gx thinks that packages exist, but the folders for these packages don't exist)

progval · 2016-09-18T14:53:01Z

@Kubuxu Same error, when running the last command:

[etc.]

mateon1 · 2016-09-18T14:54:39Z

@progval I had the same issue and going to $GOPATH/src and removing the gx folder, as well as going to $GOPATH/src/github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/vendor and removing gx there seemed to fix the problem.

progval · 2016-09-18T14:56:42Z

@mateon1 $GOPATH/src/gx does not exist, and removing $GOPATH/src/github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/vendor/gx does not help

mateon1 · 2016-09-18T14:57:35Z

@progval Okay, if that's the case try removing the vendor/gx folder again, and then doing gx install --global

Kubuxu · 2016-09-18T14:57:54Z

You might have very old version of Gx, remove the vendor directory and do gx install --global which is now default.

progval · 2016-09-18T15:07:38Z

No change.

By the way, my version of gx:

 ipfs@particle  ~/go/src/github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs   master  $GOPATH/bin/gx --version       
gx version 0.9.1

Kubuxu · 2016-09-18T15:46:12Z

Can you show output of go env?

progval · 2016-09-18T15:57:31Z

GOBIN=""
GOEXE=""
GOHOSTARCH="amd64"
GOHOSTOS="linux"
GOOS="linux"
GOPATH="/home/ipfs/go/"

GOROOT="/usr/lib/go-1.7"
GOTOOLDIR="/usr/lib/go-1.7/pkg/tool/linux_amd64"

I run Debian testing, by the way.

whyrusleeping · 2016-09-18T16:40:15Z

The issues here appear to be because you don't have gx-go installed.

whyrusleeping · 2016-09-18T16:40:39Z

Note the warning in your gx install output:

runhook(req-check): No gx helper tool found for go
runhook(install-path): No gx helper tool found for go

progval · 2016-09-18T16:45:26Z

These errors were when I used make.

I don't get this error when I use the method suggested by Kubuxu.

(But even when I used make, $GOPATH/bin/gx-go existed)

whyrusleeping · 2016-09-18T16:49:34Z

You were using make, but it looks like you were trying to override the gx binary. I'm assuming whatever value you set for gx-go_bin is incorrect and/or not in your path.

Kubuxu · 2016-09-18T16:50:14Z

Ok, can you show output of which gx and which gx-go?

progval · 2016-09-18T16:50:17Z

Indeed, it was not in my $PATH.

progval · 2016-09-18T17:00:06Z

Adding it to my $PATH fixes the issue.

I'm keeping the issue open in case you want to improve handling of gx-go missing from the $PATH, but feel free to close it otherwise.

jbenet · 2016-09-19T00:45:22Z

Sounds like an issue in gx, which I ran into yesterday too. Let's file it
over there?

whyrusleeping · 2016-09-19T01:04:07Z

@progval Yeah, I think that we should have a "subtool required" option in gx configs that makes things fail out if its missing.

Kubuxu · 2019-04-05T18:21:13Z

We have switched to go modules (#6038) so there is no gx anymore.
