I am trying to set my GOPATH to a shared network folder. When I enter
export GOPATH=smb://path/to/shared/folder
I get:
go: GOPATH entry is relative; must be absolute path: "smb".
Run 'go help gopath' for usage.
I've also tried to prefix the path w/ "/" but then it tries to make a folder in root.
thx!
there is only one solution for this:
Map ( mount) a Samba server file path as a Local Disk Drive ( local path), then set GOPATH to this local path:
Mounting SMB share on local folder by using smbmount command (smbmount is deprecated):
smbmount //ipadd/sharename /mountpoint –o username=userid,workgroup=workgroupname
Example :
smbmount //192.168.0.1/share1 /mnt –o username=steev,workgroup=test
Mounting SMB share by using mount command
mount –t smbfs ipadd:/sharename /mountpoint –o username=userid,workgroup=workgroupname
Or
mount –t smbfs //ipadd/sharename /mountpoint –o username=userid,workgroup=workgroupname
Example :
mount –t smbfs 192.168.0.1:/share1 /mnt –o username=surendra,workgroup=test

You need to mount the Samba share to a folder on your machine:
$ mkdir /mnt/samba
$ smbmount smb://path/to/share /mnt/samba
Of course you may need to use switches on the smbmount command to provide username, password, workgroup, etc., depending on the configuration of the Samba share you're trying to access. Once you've mounted the share you can then do
$ export GOPATH=/mnt/samba
And as far as Go is concerned the files in the Samba share will be located on your local machine.
