I'm sorry but this is not correct forum for asking for minio support. The best place I can find to ask your question is on the minio issue tracker.

https://github.com/minio/minio

@davecheney clearly it's not about minio, it's about go, isn't it? I got all code and files and go report simply unexpected directory layout while I follow the layout

I hope you take a look at give an guidance where goes off and close it, not just "sorry"

specifically,

unexpected directory layout:
	import path: github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/storage
	root: /Users/xuanliu/Downloads/minio-RELEASE.2017-06-13T19-01-01Z/src
	dir: /Users/xuanliu/Downloads/minio-RELEASE.2017-06-13T19-01-01Z/src/vendor/github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/storage
	expand root: /Users/xuanliu/Downloads/minio-RELEASE.2017-06-13T19-01-01Z/src
	expand dir: /Users/xuanliu/Downloads/minio-RELEASE.2017-06-13T19-01-01Z/src/vendor/github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/storage
	separator: /

I doun't find any documentation about what's wrong about it. The error message seems useless as the directories are all correct and files are under them. I honestly think this is the worst error message in go.

As an go expert, can't you tell what's wrong? If you were not able to tell, how do you expect other dev to understand the error..

If you have a Go bug report, give us a minimal example without involving Minio.

And give us repro instructions that don't involve looking at screenshots to infer directory layouts.

@xuanliu-aa again, this is not a support forum for programs written in Go. I have no experience with how to build minio from source, especially as it looks like you're using the automatic tarball from github's tagging service.

The minio documentation will explain how to build their product, this is not something that the Go project can help you with.

Thank you for your understanding.

alright, but can you tell me what's the error root cause, isn't this go project scope?

minio does not give instructions, and I followed golang instructions to create the src folder and add them into GOPATH.

the error message lists a bunch of directories, but does not tell what's wrong at all. That's what I am confused.

The true is I googled a lot about this error, but no official one. All I ask is about what could be causes so I can fix it, I think you guys are the creators so you may know the answer. Thanks

We don't the issue tracker to ask questions. Please see https://golang.org/wiki/Questions for good places to ask. Thanks.

ah, ok. thanks.
