Hi I am trying to build drone cli version 0.5.0 from source but I get the error below. Initially I’ve started looking here: [https://github.com/drone/drone-cli](https://github.com/drone/drone-cli), but this is deprecated and I used the README file: [https://github.com/drone/drone](https://github.com/drone/drone) I am currently running drone version 0.5.0+dev and somehow a ‘carriage return’ is added at the end of the key value when add drone secret. I am after 0.5.0, any idea how I build that version? Kind regards, Ayache **Failure details:** Ayaches-MacBook-Pro:drone ayache$ make deps go get -u [golang.org/x/tools/cmd/cover](http://golang.org/x/tools/cmd/cover) go get -u [github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata/](http://github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata/)… go get -u [github.com/elazarl/go-bindata-assetfs/](http://github.com/elazarl/go-bindata-assetfs/)… go get -u [github.com/drone/mq/](http://github.com/drone/mq/)… # [github.com/drone/mq/cmd/mq](http://github.com/drone/mq/cmd/mq) fatal error: unexpected signal during runtime execution [signal 0xb code=0x1 addr=0x240a33ac73ed pc=0x32313] goroutine 22 [running]: runtime.throw(0x2c4920, 0x2a) /usr/local/Cellar/go/1.6.2/libexec/src/runtime/panic.go:547 +0x90 fp=0xc82002ae90 sp=0xc82002ae78 runtime.sigpanic() /usr/local/Cellar/go/1.6.2/libexec/src/runtime/sigpanic\_unix.go:12 +0x5a fp=0xc82002aee0 sp=0xc82002ae90 runtime.injectglist(0x240a33ac730d) /usr/local/Cellar/go/1.6.2/libexec/src/runtime/proc.go:2013 +0x93 fp=0xc82002af10 sp=0xc82002aee0 runtime.gcWakeAllAssists() /usr/local/Cellar/go/1.6.2/libexec/src/runtime/mgcmark.go:498 +0x3b fp=0xc82002af20 sp=0xc82002af10 runtime.gcMarkDone() /usr/local/Cellar/go/1.6.2/libexec/src/runtime/mgc.go:1136 +0x271 fp=0xc82002af40 sp=0xc82002af20 runtime.gcBgMarkWorker(0xc820022a00) /usr/local/Cellar/go/1.6.2/libexec/src/runtime/mgc.go:1480 +0x488 fp=0xc82002afb8 sp=0xc82002af40 runtime.goexit() /usr/local/Cellar/go/1.6.2/libexec/src/runtime/asm\_amd64.s:1998 +0x1 fp=0xc82002afc0 sp=0xc82002afb8 created by runtime.gcBgMarkStartWorkers /usr/local/Cellar/go/1.6.2/libexec/src/runtime/mgc.go:1330 +0x92 goroutine 1 [GC assist wait]: cmd/link/internal/ld.writelines() /usr/local/Cellar/go/1.6.2/libexec/src/cmd/link/internal/ld/dwarf.go:1651 +0xefc cmd/link/internal/ld.Dwarfemitdebugsections() /usr/local/Cellar/go/1.6.2/libexec/src/cmd/link/internal/ld/dwarf.go:2108 +0xa59 cmd/link/internal/amd64.asmb() /usr/local/Cellar/go/1.6.2/libexec/src/cmd/link/internal/amd64/asm.go:663 +0x8bb cmd/link/internal/ld.Ldmain() /usr/local/Cellar/go/1.6.2/libexec/src/cmd/link/internal/ld/pobj.go:248 +0x1f5d cmd/link/internal/amd64.Main() /usr/local/Cellar/go/1.6.2/libexec/src/cmd/link/internal/amd64/obj.go:44 +0x19 main.main() /usr/local/Cellar/go/1.6.2/libexec/src/cmd/link/main.go:27 +0x36f make: \*\*\* [deps\_backend] Error 2 ---

In terms of building drone/drone on a macbook, unfortunately I don’t get any errors building drone on my macbook. Errors from the runtime package usually indicate an error with the Go runtime, so maybe you need to upgrade to a newer version of Go? This is the environment I use to build / develop drone: ```nohighlight $ uname -a 15.5.0 Darwin Kernel Version 15.5.0: Tue Apr 19 18:36:36 PDT 2016; root:xnu-3248.50.21~8/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64 ``` ```nohighlight $ go version go version go1.7.4 darwin/amd64 ``` ---

Thanks Brad, upgrading GO to the latest version fixed the issue. ---

hi @bradrydzewski back again to the tool ( I got distracted for the last few days). I can run **make deps** successfully now, but it fails on **make gen** with the error below. Looks like I am not setting the GOPATH correctly and it’s not specified how to in the README file. Any idea?

thanks @bradrydzewski for your prompt response. I have managed to build drone from source successfully. But the version I get when build from source is **drone version 0.5.0+dev**. We had issues with this version when publishing secrets ( a new line is added at the end of base64 value). I was told **0.5.0** doesn’t have this issue. I thought building from source would give me **0.5.0**. Is there such version? Many thanks in advance Ayache ---

the version number embedded in the binary follows the pattern `0.5.0+{metadata}` where the metadata is the build number. If you are building locally, the build number does not exist since that comes from the CI system, so `dev` is used instead. This is why all local builds will always be `0.5.0+dev` ---

Please also note there is an official `drone/drone:0.5` image available. You can use the official distribution instead of building from source. There is really no reason to build from scratch unless you plan to contribute to the project. ---

@bradrydzewski Thanks for suggesting the office image. I am after drone client 0.5 version. ---

the 0.5 drone client is also available for download. Instructions and links can be found: [http://readme.drone.io/usage/getting-started-cli/](http://readme.drone.io/usage/getting-started-cli/) ---

Thanks @bradrydzewski the latest released CLI still referencing +dev in its version: **0.5.0+dev**. That something needs to be looked at. I have actually found an issue with add/list secret commands when providing drone server with following URL pattern. https://[hostname]/.\*. Somehow it breaks if the URL ends with **/** or a path. To me the CLI should be after the drone server hostname not the actual URL. I’ve started learning GO last weekend, almost done with the introduction and I should be able to provide a fix and create PR for it. Watch this space 🙂
