verified that clang is working to compile other programs

Downloaded tinygo source

~/go/tinygo$ make
Fetch and build LLVM first by running:
make llvm-source
make llvm-build

Make fails to compile tinygo version as of 5/11/20

What is the error you are getting? (I'm assuming in make llvm-build).

[aykevl]

If you mean that this is the error:

~/go/tinygo$ make
Fetch and build LLVM first by running:
make llvm-source
make llvm-build

Then you need to do what the error message says: run make llvm-build.

However, I think what you really want is not make but go install.

tried this: sudo dpkg -i tinygo_0.13.1_amd64.deb [sudo] password for ghs: Selecting previously unselected package tinygo. (Reading database ... 222884 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to unpack tinygo_0.13.1_amd64.deb ... Unpacking tinygo (0.13.1) ... Setting up tinygo (0.13.1) ... ghs@6540:~$ tinygo tinygo: command not found I looked in /usr/local and there was no tinygo tried to uninstall package and found it was not install dpkg -P tinygo_0.13.1_amd64 dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove tinygo_0.13.1_amd64 which isn't installed Then I tried to install using git source since this was on the instruction git clone --recursive https://github.com/tinygo-org/tinygo.git cd tinygo I follow your suggestion to use go and I used go get and it worked! Thanks

ghs@6540:~$ tinygo
tinygo: command not found

I looked in /usr/local and there was no tinygo

I tried installing myself and a /usr/local did appear.
You should also add /usr/local/tinygo/bin to your $PATH variable:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/tinygo/bin

tried to uninstall package and found it was not install

dpkg -P tinygo_0.13.1_amd64
dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove tinygo_0.13.1_amd64 which isn't installed

This is not how you remove a package using dpkg. Remove it this way:

dpkg -P tinygo

You can also use apt-get remove tinygo.

I follow your suggestion to use go and I used go get and it worked!
Thanks

I'm glad you got it working!

So I tried the correct command dpkg -P tinygo (Reading database ... 225765 files and directories currently installed.) Removing tinygo (0.13.1) ... dpkg: warning: while removing tinygo, directory '/usr/local' not empty so not removed dpkg apparently did not install using ubuntu 20.04

dpkg: warning: while removing tinygo, directory '/usr/local' not empty so not removed

dpkg apparently did not install using ubuntu 20.04

It probably did install correctly. There error indicates that it could not remove /usr/local, which is normal. I had the same error with a working installation. /usr/local usually contains locally installed programs but dpkg will try to remove it anyway because no other package had any files there that were tracked by dpkg.

In any case, the original issue you were probably hitting has been fixed with #1107 which will be part of the next release.
