There is an unfortunate issue with the new newt path. When you run "go
build" or "go install" from the new directory, the resulting executable
has this horrible name: incubator-mynewt-newt.git, which is probably not
what you want.
To work around this issue, you can pass the -o option to the build
command as follows:
go build -o "$GOPATH"/bin/newt
This will produce the properly named newt executable in the usual place.
I think the correct long-term solution is to create a "newt" directory
in the git repository, and to move all the newt source files into that
directory. This is a fairly major change, so I wanted to give everyone
the weekend to think of reasons why this might be a bad idea.
Thanks,
Chris
