install from source does not work

[mjgarton]

go get github.com/meshbird/meshbird fails with the following:

package github.com/meshbird/meshbird: no Go files in /home/mgarton/gopath/src/github.com/meshbird/meshbird

Hey @mjgarton!

Please, use Makefile inside. Run $ make build

The website still says to run go get github.com/meshbird/meshbird which also fails for me.

[mjgarton]

Yes, I should have been clearer. The point of this issue is not that I can't work out how to build the code, it's that the documentation is wrong and I can't build it by following the documentation.

[mjgarton]

Also, if you would be interested in tweaking the project layout to be more typical of common Go applications, which would also reinstate the ability to use go get then I'd be happy to make a PR for that.

Still the same problem:

$ go get github.com/meshbird/meshbird
