So I tried to install 'go' but it's a _really_ unintuitive tool I have to say.
I installed golang-go on Ubuntu, which gave me a 'go' command:
triton:~> go version
go version go1.5.1 linux/amd64
that was the only step that worked. It's a dead end from that point on:
triton:~> go get github.com/google/syzkaller
package github.com/google/syzkaller: cannot download, $GOPATH not set. For
more details see: go help gopath
ok, so lets set GOPATH to the distro src directory:
triton:~> export GOPATH=/usr/lib/go/src/
triton:~> go get github.com/google/syzkaller
package github.com/google/syzkaller: mkdir /usr/lib/go/src/src: permission
denied
btw., this is what the directory contains:
triton:~> ls /usr/lib/go/src/
all.bash bootstrap.bash bytes compress debug flag html
io make.bat nacltest.bash race.bash run.bash strconv
testing unsafe
all.bat bufio clean.bash container encoding fmt image
iostest.bash Make.dist net race.bat run.bat strings text
androidtest.bash buildall.bash clean.bat crypto errors go index
log math os reflect runtime sync time
archive builtin cmd database expvar hash
internal make.bash mime path regexp sort syscall
unicode
so, according to the error message it wants a writable directory. Lets try it
that
way:
triton:~> mkdir go
triton:~>
triton:~> export GOPATH=/home/mingo/go/
triton:~> go get github.com/google/syzkaller
can't load package: package github.com/google/syzkaller: no buildable Go
source files in /home/mingo/go/src/github.com/google/syzkaller
looks like someone wants 'Go' to be used as little as possible! ;-)
Thanks,
Ingo
