Currently on an i7 with Mac OS 12.6 installed and getting this error when attempting to install modd with brew for the first time

Running brew update --auto-update...

Use
go install github.com/cortesi/modd/cmd/modd@latest

Using go install does not work for me.

% go install github.com/cortesi/modd/cmd/modd@latest

../../dev/go/pkg/mod/github.com/rjeczalik/notify@v0.0.0-20181126183243-629144ba06a1/watcher_fsevents.go:49:11: undefined: stream

What version of Go are you running?

Can you try cleaning your caches, and then installing?

go clean -modcache
go clean -cache

[jesselang]

Thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I'd be happy to open a separate issue if desired.

%  go version
go version go1.18 darwin/amd64

% go clean -modcache
% go clean -cache

% go install github.com/cortesi/modd/cmd/modd@latest

Ah, CGO_ENABLED must be enabled. I have it set to zero by default. This worked.

CGO_ENABLED=1 go install github.com/cortesi/modd/cmd/modd@latest

[jesselang]

It appears the brew formulae for modd was disabled on September 14th, 2022 after being deprecated on August 27th, 2021. Homebrew/homebrew-core#84056 offers meaningful context (referencing #96) which points to the need for a release which uses Go modules. Presumably, once that new release exists, the formulae can be revived from its disabled state. I've updated dependencies in #123 in preparation for a new release. I hope this helps. Thanks!

[jesselang]

@joncalhoun, I'd be interested in your review of my findings, and perhaps we could work together toward a resolution? Thanks much!

[joncalhoun]

Sorry. Go ahead and start prepping things for a go modules release if you think that will help resolve the brew issue. Would be a good idea to have a go module version here anyway.

[jesselang]

@joncalhoun, with #123 merged, I believe the next step would be to create a new release. After which, the homebrew formula could be updated to use that new release. Thoughts?
