[lxc-users] LXD + OS X

[Kevin LaTona]

Looking for any GO people on the list who might be able to help me dechiper what this error means which trying to install LXD CLI on to a OS X machine.

If I check my current GO path on OS X it's at /usr/local/go

Which is where GO installed it at.


I got the current LXD tar ball
 CD to it's top folder and called make

From here it give GO path not found error…….through out the whole make script

lxd-0.14 kevin$ make
go get -v -d ./...
package github.com/chai2010/gettext-go/gettext: cannot download, $GOPATH not set.


Has any one tried doing this on OS X yet and can see what is going wrong here?

-Kevin
