Description

I build ipfs-cluster:
go into ipfs-cluster folder,and "make all",then meet that "# github.com/ipfs/ipfs-cluster/api
../../go/src/github.com/ipfs/ipfs-cluster/api/types.go:191:6: cannot use c (type cid.Cid) as type *cid.Cid in field value
../../go/src/github.com/ipfs/ipfs-cluster/api/types.go:258:6: cannot use c (type cid.Cid) as type *cid.Cid in field value
../../go/src/github.com/ipfs/ipfs-cluster/api/types.go:805:12: cannot assign cid.Cid to ref (type *cid.Cid) in multiple assignment
../../go/src/github.com/ipfs/ipfs-cluster/api/types.go:812:6: cannot use c (type cid.Cid) as type *cid.Cid in field value"
and go to "go-cid" project , find that type mismatch，i think go-cid version is run. How to do with it

[hsanjuan]

Please read the documentation: https://cluster.ipfs.io/documentation/download/#installing-from-source .You should run make install or make build. make all assumes your dependencies are rewritten already.

[hsanjuan]

Sorry, I was too harsh here. make all should not fail like this and it's not very nice that it does. We'll fix it!

[tututt]

@hsanjuan，i have a suggestion, it is better to use package which same as the package on github.

[hsanjuan]

@tututt what do you mean?

[tututt]

@hsanjuan Now in ipfs-cluster project, it import package like this: ""github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs-cmdkit/files"", after "make install", it change to "manet "gx/ipfs/QmV6FjemM1K8oXjrvuq3wuVWWoU2TLDPmNnKrxHzY3v6Ai/go-multiaddr-net". Why use the first one package

[hsanjuan]

@tututt we use gx to fix our dependencies. Gx works by rewriting import paths to those of the fixed dependency. go-ipfs-cmdkit will be rewritten into something else, and probably placed in a different line as before (because of gofmt).

This allows to be sure that the project can always be built. Something that does not always work without rewriting (like right now, because how the cid package changed upstream).

[tututt]

@hsanjuan OK， I see
