Homebrew formula started

[andyjeffries]

The problem I'm having is in the final build command. It's doing something like this:

go build -o /usr/local/Cellar/leaps/0.5.0/bin/leaps cmd/leaps/leaps.go
# command-line-arguments
# cmd/leaps/leaps.go:164: undefined: assetFS

I can't build it with go build -o /usr/local/Cellar/leaps/0.5.0/bin/leaps cmd/... because it doesn't like the -o flag when giving multiple packages.

Any tips on how I can do a one liner build for leaps that just outputs me a single binary in a configurable place?

If you want to see, the issue on Homebrew is at Homebrew/homebrew-core#610 and the current version of the formula is at https://github.com/andyjeffries/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/leaps.rb

Hey @andyjeffries, go build -o /usr/local/Cellar/leaps/0.5.0/bin/leaps cmd/leaps ought to work. Thanks for looking into this, having leaps in homebrew would be awesome!

Doesn't work for me.

Ah okay, try either a relative path:
go build -o /usr/local/Cellar/leaps/0.5.0/bin/leaps ./cmd/leaps
or an absolute gopath:
go build -o /usr/local/Cellar/leaps/0.5.0/bin/leaps github.com/jeffail/leaps/cmd/leaps

That's got it working. I've got one last problem on brew test and then I'll squash the commits and raise the PR. Hopefully today...

There are some problems with the Formula, leaving it in a less than ideal state but it works. If you have any insights, I'd appreciate it...

Awesome, I'll take a look this evening. Thanks for getting us this far! I really appreciate all your help and enthusiasm 😄

[andyjeffries]

You're welcome mate.

It's in Homebrew now, so if you do brew update && brew install leaps it's all installed and working :-)

I just tested it on one of my guys' machines.

I'd tried doing exactly the same thing and it didn't work for me, but oh well...

Glad it's all in and they're 100% happy with the formula now!
