Create go.mod

[XieJiSS]

Without a go.mod, the build fails with error:

go: go.mod file not found in current directory or any parent directory; see 'go help modules'
go: go.mod file not found in current directory or any parent directory; see 'go help modules'

Note that since go 1.16, the go command will build packages in module-aware mode by default, see: https://go.dev/blog/go116-module-changes#modules-on-by-default

   Note that this project is largely unmaintained as I don't have the time to do
   or support more development. Please consider using this fork instead:
   https://github.com/jezek/xgb

   Ensure your go.sum file is committed along with your go.mod file

   Edit: go.sum is not generated, because of no external dependencies

Note: The https://github.com/jezek/xgb repository hasn't the go.[mod,sum] files either, but I can add your commit If you want.

Hi @jezek , is your fork compatible with BurntSushi's fork? The Arch Linux repo is maintaining a package which currently uses this fork as upstream. Maybe I can file an issue to request changing the source to your fork?

Arch's build system does require a go.mod to build the package though, as they are using go>=1.16.

[jezek]

@XieJiSS Yes, my fork is fully compatible.

I've only forked and added a memory leak fix + some tests (Edit: also some examples were merged).

I've added a go.mod file a few moments ago.

[XieJiSS]

Hi @jezek, FYI I've created a bug report for Arch Linux at https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/73754. For packaging purpose you may need to add a release or tag in your repo, would that be fine? Thanks!

[jezek]

@XieJiSS I've decided on release tag v1.0.0, I hope, it's OK.

@jezek I want to use the xgbutils, which is based on the xgb, does that mean the fixes you made in your repo are still a problem in the xgbutil?

@BurntSushi

[jezek]

@tobigiwa Yes, the fixes I made to my fork of jezek/xgb, are not populated to BurntSushi/xgbutil, cause it imports BurntSushi/xgb.

You can (one of these):

• clone the BurntSushi/xgbutil repo and change all the imports to jezek/xgb
• clone the BurntSushi/xgbutil repo, add a go.mod file and use go replace to change the source of xgb
• Use jezek/xgbutil. It's a fork of BurntSushi/xgbutil with all the imports changed to jezek/xgb
• Try something else.

[tobigiwa]

Ooh... I didn't know you had a fork of xgbutil, that's what I'll be doing. Thanks.

@jezek I'm currently working on a project with X11, might if I disturb you a bit with questions...?

I don't know the workings of xgbutil. I used only xgb a long time ago to spawn a window with an image (and some other stuff), found a bug, made a PR. It was not accepted (too many chages), so I forked and used it for my side project. It was a long time ago and I don't remember much. I'm afraid I won't be any help for you. Have fun figuring it out. ;)
