Error while running make command using Fabric 1.0.

Question

I am installing fabric in a custom path $HOME//gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric using the make command but after installing all the 15 steps, I am getting the following error

Step 15/15 : LABEL org.hyperledger.fabric.version=1.0.2       org.hyperledger.fabric.base.version=0.3.2

go version go1.9.4 linux/amd64

I have set the following path also

$ mkdir $HOME/gopath
$ export GOPATH=$HOME/gopath
$ export GOROOT=$HOME/go
$ export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

Answer 1

as far as I know you don't need to build the fabric itself. You just need to have sources in the gopath, as your chaincode will need this, when you are building your chaincode for the blockchain itself. In addition you will probably also need to install the fabric-ca for your chaincode to build successfully, if you use the certificate-stuff. This is sufficient to check if you installed fabric correctly:

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric
make unit-test

Keep going if this works. I found this confusing at first as well ;)

Answer 2

I'd assume you switch to golang 1.9.4 or greater hence I belive this actually related to following issue, to solve it you need to update vendor dependencies:

govendor fetch github.com/hyperledger/fabric/vendor/github.com/miekg/pkcs11

Next continue to build binaries and run tests.

Answer 3

It is a known issue in go 1.9.4: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/23739

While go people are fixing it, you can manually whitelist the flags before starting make:

$ export CGO_LDFLAGS_ALLOW='-Wl,--no-as-needed'
$ make

Alternatively you can just downgrade to go 1.9.3
