Error building kafkactl

[sgermain06]

I followed the instructions provided on the README file of this repository. I installed golang 1.19, from Kali's APT repository. Not quite sure what the next steps are here.

PWD: /home/user/projects/tmp/kafkactl
GOPATH: /home/user/go

❯ go build -o $GOPATH/bin/kafkactl
cli/kafka/adminConfig.go:24:2: github.com/jbvmio/[email protected]: replacement directory ../kafka does not exist
cli/cmd/root.go:28:2: github.com/jbvmio/[email protected] (replaced by ../kafka): reading ../kafka/go.mod: open /home/user/projects/tmp/kafka/go.mod: no such file or directory

I tried to install with golang 1.16 which is the oldest supported version my homebrew would install and got this error

cli/cmd/group/descGroup.go:7:2: import "github.com/jbvmio/kafka" is a program, not an importable package

cli/cmd/root.go:28:2: no required module provides package github.com/jbvmio/kafkactl/cli/cmd/test; to add it:
	go get github.com/jbvmio/kafkactl/cli/cmd/test
../../../go/pkg/mod/github.com/klauspost/[email protected]/zstd/blockdec.go:17:2: //go:build comment without // +build comment
../../../go/pkg/mod/github.com/!shopify/[email protected]/zstd.go:6:2: //go:build comment without // +build comment

I did fix the above issue by renaming the directory that git clone creates as kafkactl to kafka which seems to be hardcoded in the go.mod.

Apologies, error on my part - Issue should be fixed using master. If either of you still experience build errors let me know, thanks for the heads up

When I revisited this today, trying the manual install looked like this

go build -o $GOPATH/bin/kafkactl
go: github.com/Shopify/[email protected] requires
	github.com/Shopify/toxiproxy/[email protected]: missing go.sum entry; to add it:
	go mod download github.com/Shopify/toxiproxy/v2

so I ran go mod download github.com/Shopify/toxiproxy/v2 as it suggested,

Then I tried

go build -o $GOPATH/bin/kafkactl
../../../go/pkg/mod/github.com/klauspost/[email protected]/zstd/blockdec.go:17:2: //go:build comment without // +build comment
../../../go/pkg/mod/github.com/!shopify/[email protected]/zstd.go:6:2: //go:build comment without // +build comment

Not exactly sure what this error means.

Updated go through brew to 1.21 from 1.16. Worked great thanks!
