Error during building binary for Openshift Origin

[enlinxu]

I cloned the repository from github and followed the instruction. I was able to build once and start openshift origin in my ubuntu vm. But then it stopped building again for me. I started to get the following errors every time I try to do make clean build.

Any help is appreciated.

You might be hitting http://lists.openshift.redhat.com/openshift-archives/dev/2016-February/msg00084.html:

golang/go#10509 was a bug in Go 1.4 - if you are building OpenShift, run a checkout to another branch, and then get package errors, you're getting this.

You can upgrade to Go 1.5 (and thus get slow builds) or stay on 1.4 and remember to clean $GOPATH/pkg when changing branches.

@liggitt Thanks a lot, I updated to 1.6 and it also solved the issue. Closing now.
