I want to ask about my problem in installing confluent golang kafka client on Mac OS Mojave.
Why is there always error message while installing golang kafka client go get -u github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go/kafka even the librdkafka already installed?
The error message:
$GOPATH/src/github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go/kafka/event.go:234:9: could not determine kind of name for C.RD_KAFKA_RESP_ERR__FATAL
$GOPATH/src/github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go/kafka/event.go:242:18: could not determine kind of name for C.rd_kafka_fatal_error
The librdkafka is already installed librdkafka 0.11.6 already installed.
The pkg-config version already 0.29.2.
What should i do to fix this issue?
Seems like an issue with the confluent-kafka-go package on master branch.
If you use go modules and you bind the version to 0.11.6 it works.
go 1.12:
go get -u github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go/kafka@v0.11.6
go 1.11:
GO111MODULE=on go get -u github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go/kafka@v0.11.6
If you don't have go modules, clone the package under the correct go path and checkout to tag v0.11.6.
