Unable to build

[chrisrossi]

I've never tried to build anything with GO so maybe I'm missing something. GO was installed using apt install golang on Ubuntu 16.04.

Here's what I get running build.sh:

chris@opportunity:~/svglinkify$ sh build.sh

Here's what I get just trying to us go build on its own:

chris@opportunity:~/svglinkify$ go build main.go 
# command-line-arguments
./main.go:84: flag.CommandLine.Output undefined (type *flag.FlagSet has no field or method Output, but does have flag.output)
./main.go:247: undefined: strings.Builder
./main.go:364: undefined: io.SeekEnd
./main.go:374: undefined: io.SeekStart
./main.go:382: undefined: io.SeekStart
./main.go:389: undefined: io.SeekStart
./main.go:396: undefined: io.SeekStart
./main.go:416: undefined: io.SeekStart

Clearly some dependency isn't being found, but I'm not familiar with how GO manages dependencies. I was hoping the build.sh script would "just work" (TM).

Ah, I needed to download a more recent version of GO.
