Hello, according to "The Go Programming Lanuage" (Alan A. A. Donovan/Brian W. Kernighan) page 291 the "GOPATH" should have a subdirectory named "src". However that dir is not present on my system: The Go programming language is covered by a compatibility guarantee. Go 1 and the Future of Go Programs https://go.dev/doc/go1compat The Go programming tools are not covered by a compatibility guarantee. Go Release History https://go.dev/doc/devel/release Because of the compatibility guarantee, The Go Programming Language by Alan A. A. Donovan and Brian W. Kernighan, published Oct 26, 2015, is still valid for the programming language. It is often no longer valid for the programming tools.

Go Documentation https://go.dev/ https://go.dev/learn/ https://go.dev/doc/ Some YouTube video book review, found using Google Search, is unlikely to be helpful. peter $ ls $(go env GOPATH) bin pkg When doing a type check with the "go/types" package and the default importer (importer.Default()) it will also search the imported package inside GOPATH/src: could not import github.com/Code-Hex/Neo-cowsay/v2 (can't find import: " github.com/Code-Hex/Neo-cowsay/v2": cannot find package " github.com/Code-Hex/Neo-cowsay/v2" in any of: /usr/lib/go/src/github.com/Code-Hex/Neo-cowsay/v2 (from $GOROOT) /home/bf/go/src/github.com/Code-Hex/Neo-cowsay/v2 (from $GOPATH)) I installed the external package with "go get ..." and I am able to build the module that uses the external package. Does anyone know how it can happen that $GOPATH/src does not exist? Regards Bjoern -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
