No gobuilder

[dignifiedquire]

Trying to get this running it fails for me as I do not have gobuilder setup, and I'm not sure how to go about that. Can we get rid of that as there is already a todo in the code?

bin/gobuilder-cli: bin
    #TODO: make this not require a go compiler...
    go get github.com/Luzifer/gobuilder/cmd/gobuilder-cli
    cp $(gbcli) bin/gobuilder-cli

cc @jbenet @whyrusleeping

what is the output that this fails with?

[Luzifer]

If no gobuilder-cli is available on the system $(gbcli) will be empty and the cp will fail. The variable is filled way before the go get.

als @Luzifer said, cp bin/gobuilder-cli fails and prints usage instructions for cp 😆

we can't get rid of it-- we need it to install the other needed tools. for now, get it by running

go get -u github.com/Luzifer/gobuilder/cmd/gobuilder-cli
# afterwards, this should work:
make bin/gobuilder-cli

We could use ipget to install gobuilder-cli or even everything else.

@Luzifer would you be willing to run an ipfs node with gobuilder and add the bins to ipfs + expose the links? we could then pin our own things, save you bandwidth, and people can download with ipget which auto-verifies checksums.

@dignifiedquire if you don't have go, you can download it from here: https://gobuilder.me/github.com/Luzifer/gobuilder/cmd/gobuilder-cli

@Luzifer maybe make a shell-based install for gobuilder-cli?

I figured out what the problem was.. I put all my PATH config into .zshrc and it turns out if I run make it does not know about those even though it's executed from zsh. So even though everything was installed it didn't find it :( But I got it working now by copying the go path configs into .bash_profile
