Version information:

git master

Type:

Bug

Priority:

P3

Description:

Every time I run make build, I get this: go-ipfs must be built from within your $GOPATH directory.

I tried the following:

 ipfs@particle  ~/gopath/go-ipfs   master ●  export GOPATH=$PWD
 ipfs@particle  ~/gopath/go-ipfs   master ●  make build
go-ipfs must be built from within your $GOPATH directory.
expected within '/home/ipfs/gopath/go-ipfs' but got '/home/ipfs/gopath/go-ipfs'
Makefile:49 : la recette pour la cible « path_check » a échouée
make: *** [path_check] Erreur 1
 ✘ ipfs@particle  ~/gopath/go-ipfs   master ●  export GOPATH=$HOME/gopath
 ipfs@particle  ~/gopath/go-ipfs   master ●  make build                
go-ipfs must be built from within your $GOPATH directory.

I am new to building Go applications, I may have missed something about how $GOPATH works.

export GOPATH=$PWD

go-ipfs must be $GOPATH/src/github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs, so that it matches the imports in the code. You can move it there, or symlink it (that's what I do).

The GoPath is a Go specific location, if you set $GoPath, then use go get github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs it should download to the correct directory.

It works, thanks!
