Why "go build" depends on $GOROOT/src/pkg #4635
Description
by xuxinhua1984:
The code is:(test.go)
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
fmt.Println("Hello, World")
}
Then, I build it: go build test.go. It is OK.
But when I delete $GOROOT/src/pkg/fmt directory, then build test.go, it failed:
cannot find package "fmt" in any of:
/usr/local/go/src/pkg/fmt (from $GOROOT)
However, I can build it by 6g and link it by 6l:
go tool 6g test.go
go tool 6l test.6
this will generate 6.out
Why "go build" depends on $GOROOT/src/pkg ?
