What broke? What's expected?

Hi, i'm new to kubebuilder, i tried the quick-start and stucked in the second step kubebuilder create api --group webapp --version v1 --kind Guestbook. I would be really grateful for a workaround or a fix.

I've got this messages: It seems that cgo_linux.go:12:8 is missing.

worked for me after apt install gcc

thanks @rgrama , i am also new to go 😅 Would it an idea to put gcc to the prerequisites or is this too basic?

[ErikTMA]

I had the same issue when installed through brew, however if I followed https://sdk.operatorframework.io/docs/installation/ for installing from git release, it works fine. gcc was present for both.

Hi @rgrama,

Could you please check if you install the binary from Kubebuilder releases: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/releases/tag/v3.6.0 (Following the instructions to install: https://book.kubebuilder.io/quick-start.html#installation)

Will you see this issue? It is a problem with the brew formula because the binaries built by Kubebuilder do NOT require GCC. See: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/blob/master/build/.goreleaser.yml#L48

We do not maintain the brew formula so I would recommend open an issue against them. Also, use the binaries and steps to install provided by Kubebuilder instead brew formula.

Closing this one since it is not an issue with what has been kept maintained by the project.

In my case, using Go from go.dev/dl instead of that from linuxbrew solved the problem.

[MaxThom]

same here, I had installed go with brew. Instead, ive installed it from the release page and worked. https://go.dev/doc/install

running kubebuilder 3.7 and go 1.18.7
