What version of Go are you using (go version)?

go version devel +104445e Wed Feb 7 19:22:09 2018 +0000 linux/amd64 vgo:2018-02-20.1

What did you do?

unset GOPATH
vgo build

What did you expect to see?

I expected it to build. AIUI, vgo should not need GOPATH set.

What did you see instead?

% vgo build
missing $GOPATH

This is working as intended. A $GOPATH is needed to hold the cache. You must have unset not just GOPATH but also HOME, or else the default GOPATH=$HOME/go would have kicked in.

For the record, I did not unset $HOME too, although it's quite possible I've got some other environment variable that causes the default value to fail.

$ echo $HOME
