golang project: can't find import

[NuSkooler]

I'm attempting to use xmake v2.2.3.201811282159 with go version go1.11.2 windows/amd64. I created a project as such:

xmake create -n myproj -l go

xmake can now build the project. However, when I import a package in my main.go, xmake fails:

[  0%]: compiling.release src\main.go
error: src\main.go:8:2: can't find import: "github.com/docopt/docopt-go"

The docopt-go is in my $GOPATH. From go env:

set GOPATH=C:\Users\nusko\go

And c:\Users\nusko\go\pkg\windows_amd64\github.com\docopt\docopt-go.a (from using go get...)

Now, if I cd to src and go build, it compiles just fine. It's go tool compile ... that xmake runs that fails.

Any ideas?

Sorry, importing external libraries is not currently supported and we can only compile some codes that uses the built-in library.

At present, the focus of xmake is to improve the compilation of c/c++.

I will support it in the future, but currently I suggest you still use go build directly.

@waruqi Fair enough, thanks for the quick response!

Is this still the case for external go dependencies?

Yes

I have initially supported the installation and integration of third-party go dependency packages, but it is not very perfect (the specified version is not currently supported and cascading dependencies require manual configuration)

Because currently I use go get to download the dependency package, it does not support the specified version. Although the new go11 module can support downloading the specified version, it does not provide a compiled binary library (only source code). So I don’t know how to compile them to get the corresponding library files.

for example: https://github.com/xmake-io/xmake/blob/dev/tests/projects/go/console_with_pkgs/xmake.lua

add_rules("mode.debug", "mode.release")

add_requires("go::github.com/sirupsen/logrus", {alias = "logrus"})
add_requires("go::golang.org/x/sys/internal/unsafeheader", {alias = "unsafeheader"})
if is_plat("windows") then
    add_requires("go::golang.org/x/sys/windows", {alias = "syshost"})
else
    add_requires("go::golang.org/x/sys/unix", {alias = "syshost"})
end

target("test")
    set_kind("binary")
    add_files("src/*.go")
    add_packages("logrus", "syshost", "unsafeheader")
