Project build issues

[AndriianChestnykh]

There are these errors when trying to build the project with "make" command:

cmd/istanbul/main.go:37: cannot use extra.ExtraCommand (type "github.com/getamis/istanbul-tools/vendor/github.com/urfave/cli".Command) as type "github.com/urfave/cli".Command in array or slice literal

the following still works: go get github.com/getamis/istanbul-tools/cmd/istanbul, however then it is installed under $GOPATH.

Thank you, it helped me to install istanbul-tools under $GOPATH. However it when I try to use it it does not seem to work properly.
For example in my Mac i get this:

$ istanbul --help
Killed: 9

or this

$ istanbul extra encode --config ./config.toml
Killed: 9

Hi @AndriianChestnykh, I'm experiencing that same problem - have you found a solution?

[marcdk]

Setting the build flags worked for me
go get -ldflags=-s github.com/getamis/istanbul-tools/cmd/istanbul

Apparently, this is no longer an issue with go 1.8.1

Reference:
shirou/gopsutil#339

I had the same issue. The compiled file was in the go binaries.
On Mac, these are found in:

/Users/[YOURUSERNAME]/go/bin/

Adding this line to your bash profile should make them accessible.

# manually added Istanbul-Consensus Tools
export PATH="/Users/[YOURUSERNAME]/go/bin:$PATH"

Hope this helps the next one looking for a solution!

I'm still facing an issue in it. I use UBUNTU 16.04.
I tried exporting the $PATH and setting the build flags too.
