Installation on macOS fails at go-sqlite3 step

[tijs]

versions:

go version go1.7.4 darwin/amd64
macOS Sierra 10.12.2 (16C67)

issue:

when running the go get -u github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo/buffalo install command on my machine it fails at the build step for one of the dependencies. Resulting in an unfinished install and buffalo not being built.

stackstrace:

$ go get -u github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo/buffalo

It looks like you're missing the OS X developer command line tools or your SQLIte is out of date.

I have the developer command line tools installed (i use xcode quite a bit) but i might indeed lack a recent SQLite install. I have the builtin macOS sqlite installed:

SQLite version 3.14.0 2016-07-26 15:17:14

tried again just now after installing the latest sqlite3 with brew but that did not help either. Maybe i'm misreading the trace above and while sqlite just gives the warning the real issue is with the linker for amd64 which would make it a go issue?

[markbates]

Interesting. A quick google brought up this issue golang/go#9411

[tijs]

I run into the same issue when i try and install with go1.8rc1 get -u github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo/buffalo so if it's a go issue it's not solved yet. I assume i can fix it with different build settings, just never ran into this before. I'll try some things and report back if i find the root cause.

[markbates]

Yeah, I haven't seen this issue before. It's very strange. There's something that we're both missing.

I tried to reproduce on my Mac, I was able to install just fine in both cases, on my other mac missing xcode Developer tools from App Store, shows me the same error.

[tijs]

@bscott ugh! i did do another xcode-select -install just to be sure. double checked eveything was installed and still could not get it to run. today i restarted my mac just to be sure and now it works like a charm. sorry for the wild goose chase. will close the ticket!
