Hi guys,

I’ve applied steps from BUILDING.md file and executed command: `go build cmd/drone-agent/*`

The result was:

```auto
./agent.go:90:29: cannot use conn (type *"github.com/drone/drone/vendor/google.golang.org/grpc".ClientConn) as type *"github.com/drone/drone/vendor/github.com/cncd/pipeline/vendor/google.golang.org/grpc".ClientConn in argument to rpc.NewGrpcClient

```

Then applied simple glide description to improve dependencies management. The glide file:

```auto
package: github.com/drone/drone
import:
- package: github.com/Sirupsen/logrus
  repo: git@github.com:sirupsen/logrus.git
- package: github.com/drone/drone-ui/dist
- package: golang.org/x/net/context
- package: golang.org/x/net/context/ctxhttp
- package: github.com/golang/protobuf/proto
- package: github.com/golang/protobuf/protoc-gen-go

```

and executed the same command and unfortunately the result was exactly the same as afore mentioned.

Could you, please, help me setup local environment or point out documentation?

The `BULDING` file works for me, but if you are having difficultly you can always reference the [`.drone.yml`](https://github.com/drone/drone/blob/master/.drone.yml#L5:L15) file, which should be considered the canonical build instructions for Drone. The commands in the yaml file are successfully executed for every commit and pull request that we receive.

See [https://github.com/drone/drone/blob/master/.drone.yml#L5:L15](https://github.com/drone/drone/blob/master/.drone.yml#L5:L15)

Thank for the answer. I’ve managed to build the server and agent. I had wrong version of docker/docker (it was 1.2 - very old) in the meantime it was migrated to moby/moby (1.18…)

Did you consider to use glide or golang/dep tools for vendoring purposes?  
Locally I setup in my fork glide, thanks to it I was able to quickly deal with the issue I had.
