gb build all doesn't do anything [Windows]

[laszlothewiz]

I set up a simple project:
src/main.go
vendor/src/go-ini/ini.go

When I run gb build all nothing happens, no files created, no error messages.

I ran gb build -v=true all and got the following:
DEBUG project root "t:\2015\PJT\Golang\CWI Automation"
DEBUG matchPackages: [t:\2015\PJT\Golang\CWI Automation\src] all
DEBUG args: []
DEBUG removing work directory: C:\Users\Laci\AppData\Local\Temp\gb086314939
DEBUG build duration: 976.6us map[]

I would be happy to debug this but don't even know where to start.

Thanks for your issue report. You need to move main.go into a package. Code cannot be built at the root of src/ because that is not a package, it has no name.

Thank you for the quick response!

However, after moving the source files into a folder, the build fails (cwia is the folder I moved the files to):

FATAL command "build" failed: failed to resolve package "cwia": cannot find package "cwia" in any of:
    C:\Go\src\pkg\cwia (from $GOROOT)
    t:\2015\PJT\Golang\CWI Automation:t:\2015\PJT\Golang\CWI Automation\vendor\src\cwia (from $GOPATH)

Also, could gb consider the .go files directly under /src as the main project files and assume the name for them to be the project directory's name?
Eg: ~/someproject/src/main.go could generate a someproject.exe
This would be ideal for small projects

[davecheney]

Possibly, but if you put your files in src/someoroject/main.go the we wouldn't have to add a special case

[laszlothewiz]

That's fine but I moved my files under a subdirectory (cwia) in /src and I got the above error when trying to build.

Let me take a look tomorrow. There is a known error on windows #27 and another issue for building in src/ directly #46

Thanks!
