1. Normally you append /usr/local/go/bin to your PATH variable so that you can execute the go command by typing "go" in your terminal instead of having to type "/usr/local/go/bin/go". This is for your convenience and completely unrelated to your Go source code. (Note that no symlinking is done anywhere and this really not related to anything GOPATH is set to or not set to.) 2.

GOPATH may point to several distinct directories (GOPATH is a list like PATH is), but this still does not permit your desired code layout as each entry in GOPATH must stick to the convention. If you really want to keep this layout you can always use the Go compiler directly, typically driven through a Makefile. As you are new to Go this will be a _major_ pain for you (it is a major pain for experienced Gophers), maybe even undoable. There is no reason to not put you Go code in a GOPATH and go tool compatible structure. V. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
