Error after Installing on OSX

[steele232]

Hey,

This is my first or second day using gomacro.

I got the following error today.

Steele232s-MacBook-Air:Desktop steele232 $ go install github.com/cosmos72/gomacro
github.com/cosmos72/gomacro
ld: warning: text-based stub file /System/Library/Frameworks//CoreFoundation.framework/CoreFoundation.tbd and library file /System/Library/Frameworks//CoreFoundation.framework/CoreFoundation are out of sync. Falling back to library file for linking.
ld: warning: text-based stub file /System/Library/Frameworks//Security.framework/Security.tbd and library file /System/Library/Frameworks//Security.framework/Security are out of sync. Falling back to library file for linking.

Steele232s-MacBook-Air:Desktop steele232 $ gomacro -bash: gomacro: command not found

I got the same error when I did the install command (like above) and when I do
go get -u github.com/cosmos72/gomacro

I am pretty sure I had gomacro working yesterday.. or at least I did the go get command from the README.md . But I don't really remember.

I installed this on my windows work computer and it was working great.

The docs say that things work better on iOS than they do on Windows, so I was surprised when I got this error. None of the codes looked remotely familiar, so I thought I'd bring it to you guys and see what you think.

Other System Details:
OS: macOS High Sierra version 10.13.6

PS I haven't restarted my computer, but I could do that if you think it would help 😛

Hi Steele232,

the messages you listed from go install github.com/cosmos72/gomacro and go get -u github.com/cosmos72/gomacro seem to be warnings, not errors - so the gomacro executable should be successfully generated.

The only missing step I can think of is $PATH: go install moves the compiled executables into $GOPATH/bin and, if GOPATH is not set, it defaults to $HOME/go/bin - maybe these directories are not in your $PATH so your shell does not find gomacro. You can try both of these to see if either works (note the quotes):

"$GOPATH/bin/gomacro"
"$HOME/go/bin/gomacro"

and, in case, add either $GOPATH/bin or $HOME/go/bin to your $PATH.

Let me know if this resolves the problem.

Hey, thank you!

It looks like, somehow, my GOPATH wasn't set. I was sure I did that before, but I guess I was wrong.

This was the result of the commands you mentioned:

$ "$GOPATH/bin/gomacro"
bash: /bin/gomacro: No such file or directory
$ "$HOME/go/bin/gomacro"
