question freetype didn't findit

[dmitshur]

I can reproduce with go version go1.5 darwin/amd64:

~ $ export GOPATH=/tmp/empty_fresh_workspace
~ $ go get -u github.com/google/gxui/...
package github.com/google/gxui/drivers/gl
    imports code.google.com/p/freetype-go/freetype/raster: unable to detect version control system for code.google.com/ path
package github.com/google/gxui/drivers/gl
    imports code.google.com/p/freetype-go/freetype/truetype: unable to detect version control system for code.google.com/ path
~ $ echo $?
1
~ $ ls $GOPATH/src
github.com  golang.org
~ $ 

code.google.com is being sunset before its upcoming shutdown, and this seems to be related. That repo has moved to https://github.com/golang/freetype so code.google.com redirects, and that prevents go get from working.

The fix is for gxui to update to use the new github.com/golang/freetype import path.

@7belrhalmia, as a temporary workaround until gxui import paths are updated so it's go-gettable again, you can manually hg clone the code.google.com repository:

$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/code.google.com/p
$ cd $GOPATH/src/code.google.com/p
$ hg clone https://code.google.com/p/freetype-go
...
destination directory: freetype-go

adding manifests
adding file changes
added 129 changesets with 385 changes to 52 files
updating to branch default
38 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved

That will then allow go install github.com/google/gxui/... to succeed.
