Unable to install; error with go-redis

[wolfy1339]

Hapens with Go 1.14 (can build it manually) and 1.10

# go get github.com/alice-lg/birdwatcher

There's an issue about this upstream in the module: redis/go-redis#1333

This also happens when trying to manually build it with Go 1.10

cd ~/go/src/github.com/alice-lg/birdwatcher && make linux
GO111MODULE=on GOARCH=amd64 GOOS=linux go build -o birdwatcher-linux-amd64

Hey! Thanks for the issue report!
I was on vacation - let's have a look :)

So, golang 1.10 does not work. I just tried building it using a docker golang:1.10 image.
However the issue on my side is not even the redis client library but with:

root@81d6122402a2:/go/src/github.com/alice-lg/birdwatcher# go build
# golang.org/x/exp/rand

Same with 1.11 though... Interesting.

You need to use the command with GO111MODULE=on. Nowhere except build files mention it:

birdwatcher/Makefile

Line 37 in ae53faa

GO111MODULE=on GOARCH=$(ARCH) GOOS=linux go build -o $(PROG)-linux-$(ARCH)

So your command would be: GO111MODULE=on go get github.com/alice-lg/birdwatcher.

As the variable name suggests, this wildness starts at golang 1.11; anything before won't build. And starting at 1.11 you need to have this. (as go-redis requires it)

Adding: I have built birdwatcher multiple times without issues as of writing.

For reference, the go 1.10 install is the package provided in Ubuntu 18.04
