@chowyu08 this is a kind of known issue at this point but we have found no fix so far. The libpulsar.a looks ok in the sense that I can link it into a regular C++ binary but not into a Go binary.

Any hint in how to fix the libpulsar.a linking is welcome. In meantime, the only option is to link dynamically against libpulsar.so

removed milestone, since it is a known issue and no fix can be found so far.
