cd web_page_replay_go
Follows the instructions in https://github.com/catapult-project/catapult/blob/master/web_page_replay_go/README to fetch required dependencies.

Run go build src\wpr.go to build wpr-go binary.

What did you expect to see?

Be able to build wpr.exe binary.

What did you see instead?

My colleague cannot reproduce this either. so probably my windows instance has some problem.

We currently find a way to work around this by remove go libs that are not purely go. So this is not a blocker for us anymore. Thanks for taking a look anyway!
