Hi

Vault newbie here…trying to build local vault in an x86_64 environment. Consul build for the same environment proceeds despite these errors but fail in some other error as outlined below after vault errors.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

This is a golang issue, I would find a community that does golang. This is more of an application community. Although someone might have an idea.

The only advice I can provide is, from what I have heard, the version of the go binary you use is very important so check the minimum requirements of the version of go that is needed to compile the version of Vault and Consul you want to build.

This is a community about Vault… I don’t see any problem with asking about problems building Vault here.

That said, @SRI1 , could you improve the formatting of your post, so its not all messed up by parts being interpreted as formatting markup? It makes it difficult to read. Use ``` sections to enclose console text.

Your errors are most likely because you are using RHEL7, a very ancient OS, and the build expects newer development tools.

It looks like this is coming from build_date.sh:

# it's tricky to do an RFC3339 format in a cross platform way, so we hardcode UTC
DATE_FORMAT="%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ"

# we're using this for build date because it's stable across platform builds
git show --no-show-signature -s --format=%cd --date=format:"$DATE_FORMAT" HEAD

So presumably updating to a newer git should help.

Hi all

Thank you very much for your time and replies. Will try out newer Git and newer OS environment.

Will post using better format in future posts.

Thanks
