Cannot compile Go language on Mac OS X 10.6.7

When following instructions on Getting Started - The Go Programming Language, I get the code and try to run the all.bash script.

But I get this error after a lot of other successful looking output:

Has anybody else seen this and fixed it?

I am running Snow Leopard (10.6.7) build 10J869.

It's an open issue, relating to a new version of Xcode, for OS X 10.7 and 10.6.7.

Issue 1881: cgo const error on OS X 10.7

NOTE: Revision 142f0bc0d6e7 has been made to close issue 1881. To update Go for all changes up to and including this revision, run:

$ cd $GOROOT/src
$ hg pull
$ hg update 142f0bc0d6e7
$ ./all.bash

You don't indicate exactly which version of Go you are building. Note that it is a dynamic project where the versions change frequently.

I just ran hg pull and hg update in a directory where I've previously compiled Go successfully (on MacOS X 10.6.7). Then I ran sh all.bash and I didn't see any issues during the build or test phases (though it takes longer to build now than it did when Go was first announced).

FWIW, hg tags gives me:

And the end of the build cycle gives:

--- cd ../test
0 known bugs; 0 unexpected bugs

ALL TESTS PASSED

---
Installed Go for darwin/amd64 in /Users/jleffler/go.
Installed commands in /Users/jleffler/bin.
The compiler is 6g.

<hr>

Therefore...

There is a chance that if you change the version of Go (possibly to a more recent one), then it will work for you, too.

<hr>

And, another FWIW or FYI, I redid the build on a different machine also running MacOS X 10.6.7 this afternoon, and the tip version is slightly different, and there are apparently 2 known bugs.

--- cd ../test

On OS X the debuggers must be installed setgrp procmod.
Read and run ./sudo.bash to install the debuggers.

The timing information (just under 5 minutes for the build and test cycle) is from running:

time all.bash
