Issues building on macOS

[anoldguy]

Hey, I read your article about terminal latency, and was pretty interested in trying out gofu!

I'm running on macOS, go version go1.8.3 darwin/amd64, and when I run make, I get:

GOPATH=<path>/gofu/.gopath GOBIN=<path>/gofu/build go install  -ldflags '-s -w' 'github.com/majewsky/gofu'
# github.com/majewsky/gofu/pkg/prompt
could not determine kind of name for C.__uid_t
make: *** [build/gofu] Error 2

I'm very new to golang, but some googling shows similar issues for the git2go project, so I built a new version of libgit2 with homebrew, but I'm still getting the issue.

Do you normally run on a mac, or is your daily OS linux?

Hi, came here the same way and ran into the same issue.
To resolve it you need to change line 55 in pkg/prompt/login.go to
pw, err := C.getpwuid(C.uid_t(os.Getuid())) (remove the underscores).
That did the job for me.

Cool project, keep it up!

I can confirm that got it to compile! Thanks!

Sorry for not noticing this. Apparently Github does not notify me when someone creates an issue/PR on my own repos. Anyway, this has been fixed in ae44763.
