installing GoLang on Lion

I had to get Mercurial from here, that was successful then for this step:

$ hg clone -u release https://go.googlecode.com/hg/ go
$ sudo /usr/sbin/chown -R johayek go

./all.bash expects "sysctl" on PATH, so:

$ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin

I ended up with applying sudo on ./all.bash, but still

$ sudo ./all.bash


I experienced problems before we a messed Xcode set-up, but after cleaning that up, everything was fine here.

Darwin Ports on Lion

This is also not a success story right now.

In order to install Mercurial for GoLang I will have to do that the native way.

fink, XCode, connect.apple.com, …

A while after upgrading to Lion, there is a need for me, to make use of fink again. Well, when I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion, XCode did not get upgraded as well. Now that I tried do update fink again, it complained about what ever, but at least it pointed me to XCode and connect.apple.com . So, I hope, that will be a piece of cake. I need Mercurial from fink, and using that I will install GoLang. That's the intention at least.

Update 2011-09-20
The version of XCode within the Apple app store seems the same as the one in connect.apple.com, at least the app store refuses to download XCode, as I already have the up-to-date version of XCode on my disk.
