go-sqlite3 "Too many errors"

[Jonovono]

Hi. I am trying to get this running with Go: go1.1.2 darwin/amd64

Running:
go get github.com/conformal/btcd

Gives me the output

$ go get github.com/conformal/btcd

too many errors

Any thoughts?

What version of Go are you using? I found a post on the Go mailing list that claims this was an issue with Go 1.1.1 and is fixed in Go 1.1.2 here.

If you're running Go 1.1.2 and still having issues, please try the following:

$ go install -ldflags '-linkmode=external' github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3

In the near future, as soon as the package is stable, we plan to move to the pure Go leveldb implementation which will alleviate the need for cgo altogether and will reduce these types of issues.

[colindean]

The go-sqlite issue is being tracked on mattn/go-sqlite3#80.

[colindean]

The error causing this is fixed in Go 1.2 and HEAD branch right now. Just installed HEAD (brew install go --HEAD) and confirmed it able to at least install.

Another go-sqlite3 error

$ go get github.com/conformal/btcd
# github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3
clang: error: argument unused during compilation: '-fno-eliminate-unused-debug-types'

@collindean I'm not able to install brew install go --HEAD it throws errors. I have go-1.1.2 installed right now.

@davecgh same error running $ go install -ldflags '-linkmode=external' github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3. Do I have to remove all go installation, src and pkg s before doing so?

[davecgh]

@rdymac This is one of the problems with having a cgo dep. Luckily sqlite is going to be removed in short order in favor of the pure Go leveldb implementation which has already been made the default. Aside from not using cgo, it also happens to be way faster, so it's a net win.

However, if you want to try and get it to work in the mean time, does mattn/go-sqlite3#80 (comment) work for you?

[rdymac]

Trying that comment you shared I have just mistakenly installed an older version of gcc, it is taken ages; so I don't think I'll do it again for the correct version. I think I'll wait for the removing of this dep to try btcd out.

Thanks for the answer

[jcvernaleo]

After some experimenting, I can also confirm that on OSX 10.8, go1.1.2 will not build go-sqlite3 (and therefore will not build btcd). go tip and hopefully go1.2 when it comes out do work just fine.

[davecgh]

I'm going to close this since it's resolved as of the latest version of Go.
