What's the output of go env and which os distribution do you use?

Pull master and try build again, maybe you are using a broken code.

@hipnusleo Have you been able to solve the problem?

[byskr]

Not a solution but a workarround, download the zip file from https://github.com/go-gl/glfw and extract the archive into the folder vendor/github.com/go-gl/glfw/v3.2

[byhaskell]

@byskr Thank you, after almost a year - the problem is solved in the same way.

[icexin]

I pulled the latest glfw version and there should be no more compilation errors

Directories without .go files are not copied with modules and vendoring:

https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules#some-needed-files-may-not-be-present-in-populated-vendor-directory

A working alternative would be installing https://github.com/goware/modvendor and copy all needed files:

$ go mod vendor
$ modvendor -copy="**/*.c **/*.h **/*.m"

I have same issue, solve it with your way. Thx ! @jjrumi

[james-lawrence]

this should be solvable automatically?

iirc the solution is to add glfw/src/context.go as an empty file.

then somewhere in the package import it.

i.e.)

// ensure c source are not lost when vendoring import _ "glfw/src"
