Building golang project on ARM board gets "imports runtime: C source files not allowed when not using cgo or SWIG" error

[XiaoGuo, Liu]

I have used my own snappy project at https://github.com/liu-xiao-guo/go-webserver. I have used an armhf image inside a docker:

https://hub.docker.com/r/kickinz1/snappy-dev-cli-armhf/

When I am trying to build my snap app, and I come with the following error:

ubuntu@34fc56495ebb:~/work$ snapcraft

The same problem happens on a real ARM board compilation. The golang and golang-go have been successfully installed on the system. The dockerfile can be found at

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kick-d/+junk/snappy-dev-docker/view/head:/tools/Dockerfile.cli.armhf

A simple workaround solution is to do the following command:

bash < <(curl -s -S -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moovweb/gvm/master/binscripts/gvm-installer)
source ./.gvm/scripts/gvm

Then everything becomes OK.

Thanks & best regards,
XiaoGuo

Hello!

I tried this in a xenial lxc inside my beagle bone. I didn't get this error. I got plenty of problems, but not this one.
I had to ifup eth0, set a nameserver, install snapcraft (which prints an error but seems to work alright afterwards).
Then I got your yaml and your png, and run snapcraft. On the first run, it failed to install the dependencies (same thing as with snapcraft, something to do with systemd). On the second run, I got the snap:

Generated 'go-webserver_1.0.7_armhf.snap' snap

So, not a nice journey, but doesn't fail with that import runtime error.

What error was this? A separate bug if worthy would be nice.

Due to build-packages or stage-packages?
Can you try building and installing snapcraft from master?

@leo, I have shared you a document about setting up my environment. It is pretty straightforward. Would you please try and see whether you can duplicate the problem? thanks!

This should just work in the classic dimension, are you seeing errors there?
