Error while trying to build Lime Text : termbox compilation fail

[gbersac]

I am in the process to install Lime text on ubuntu 14.04 using this totorial : https://github.com/limetext/lime/wiki/Building-on-Ubuntu-14.04
When I try to run the command :

go get -u github.com/limetext/lime/frontend/termbox

I get the following error message :

# github.com/limetext/lime/frontend/termbox
../termbox/main.go:514: syntax error: unexpected range, expecting {
../termbox/main.go:517: syntax error: unexpected }

I just read the contributing guideline and I am not sure this ticket doesn't belong here any more (though it is likely to require a code change). Sorry, I'll know it for the next time ^^

So yeah, I have zero experience with writing or running Go code since I only follow this repo, but I suggest you to check your Go version.

You need go 1.4 or later. The syntax changed in that version.

That's right ! I installed go using :

sudo apt-get install golang

But the repository is outdated. I should consider moving to arch linux ^^

[erbridge]

Try gvm.
