Description

While trying to build gitea from sources (https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/install-from-source/, the "no downloads" way, of course) build fails with following error:

can't load package: package _/home/git/gitea/gitea/cmd: cannot find package "_/home/git/gitea/gitea/cmd" in any of:
	/usr/lib/go/src/_/home/git/gitea/gitea/cmd (from $GOROOT)
	/home/user/go/src/_/home/git/gitea/gitea/cmd (from $GOPATH)

After doing

ln -s src/github.com/ .
ln -s gitea ../src

Where "gitea" is the name of current directory, make generate succeeded, but build still fails with something like

main.go:13:2: cannot find package "code.gitea.io/gitea/cmd" in any of:
	/usr/lib/go/src/code.gitea.io/gitea/cmd (from $GOROOT)
	/home/git/gitea/src/code.gitea.io/gitea/cmd (from $GOPATH)
main.go:14:2: cannot find package "code.gitea.io/gitea/modules/log" in any of:
	/usr/lib/go/src/code.gitea.io/gitea/modules/log (from $GOROOT)
	/home/git/gitea/src/code.gitea.io/gitea/modules/log (from $GOPATH)

After doing go get and adding ../../../bin to PATH it worked.
IMO it would be useful to add the following to the install doc:

  • Build from git cloned sources requires additional setup (and some hints how to do it)
  • ../../../bin must be in PATH while building

git clone&& git checkout
Yeah, that's probably where it went wrong.

I guess git clone ... ; cd ...; make way is not supported and I have to use magical go get, right?

We don't use go modules (yet) so you need to have a working GOPATH and use go get -u -v code.gitea.io/gitea. This command will git clone in the correct folder ($GOPATH/src/code.gitea.io/gitea) and build gitea.

For the insigth code.gitea.io/gitea will redirect to github repo. This will ease the process of migrating to a futur hosted gitea by changing the redirection.
