Porting a Go implementation: dealing with dependencies

[Stefan Bethke]

I’m trying to create a port for Gitea (https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea). The basics seem easy enough, but I’m not sure how to deal with it’s dependencies.

After downloading tag 0.97, I start building with

do-build:
	(cd ${GO_WRKSRC} ; ${SETENV} ${GO_ENV} go build)

The result is a long list of unfulfilled dependencies:
$ sudo make
===>  License APACHE20 accepted by the user
===>   gitea-0.9.97 depends on file: /usr/local/sbin/pkg - found
===> Fetching all distfiles required by gitea-0.9.97 for building
===>  Extracting for gitea-0.9.97
=> SHA256 Checksum OK for go-gitea-gitea-v0.9.97_GH0.tar.gz.
===>  Patching for gitea-0.9.97
===>   gitea-0.9.97 depends on executable: git - found
===>   gitea-0.9.97 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/go - found
===>   gitea-0.9.97 depends on executable: gmake - found
===>  Configuring for gitea-0.9.97
===>  Building for gitea-0.9.97
(cd /var/ports/work/home/vagrant/gitea/work/src/github.com/go-gitea/gitea ; /usr/bin/env GOPATH="/var/ports/work/home/vagrant/gitea/work:/usr/local/share/go"  CGO_CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include"  CGO_LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib"  GOBIN="" go build)
cmd/dump.go:16:2: cannot find package "github.com/Unknwon/cae/zip" in any of:
	/usr/local/go/src/github.com/Unknwon/cae/zip (from $GOROOT)
	/var/ports/work/home/vagrant/gitea/work/src/github.com/Unknwon/cae/zip (from $GOPATH)
	/usr/local/share/go/src/github.com/Unknwon/cae/zip
cmd/serve.go:16:2: cannot find package "github.com/Unknwon/com" in any of:
	/usr/local/go/src/github.com/Unknwon/com (from $GOROOT)
	/var/ports/work/home/vagrant/gitea/work/src/github.com/Unknwon/com (from $GOPATH)
	/usr/local/share/go/src/github.com/Unknwon/com
…

Very few, if any, are available as ports.  I could use go get to download these, but I think that’s not how it’s supposed to work with a port.

I can build the master branch using the build instructions from the Github project successfully.
