The problem is gone under go 1.9.2

The same happens on macOS 10.13.2

leo-xinwang on 27 Dec 2017

I find a work around to solve this:
change line 192 of vendor/gopkg.in/olebedev/go-duktape.v3
from:
func (d *Context) PushCFunction(fn *[0]byte, nargs int64) int {
to:
func (d *Context) PushCFunction(fn *[0]byte, nargs uint64) int {

The reason seems go has problem in interpret an negative constant integer in C.

I can also confirm the fix from @leo-xinwang -- upgrading to 1.9.2 fixes this issue.

I'm using go1.9.2 version only. Plz help

Ajaysethi136 on 5 Jan 2018

@Ajaysethi136 It seems like you just need to remove the existing symlink. Running this in the install location should work:
rm go-ethereum

Then run the build command again.

danclegg on 5 Jan 2018

I tried removing but it throws the following error "rm: cannot remove 'go-ethereum': No such file or directory".
Currently, I'm using Windows 10, Might it causing be the issue?? or should we use Ubuntu only for this?

@leo-xinwang I`m sorry I did not know which file you mean.In my env go-duktape.v3 is a folder. and i find func (d *Context) PushCFunction(fn *[0]byte, nargs int64) int { in the 976 lines of vendor/gopkg.in/olebedev/go-duktape.v3/api.go and I change it to uint but still get the error vendor/gopkg.in/olebedev/go-duktape.v3/api.go:153:2: note: in expansion of macro ‘duk_error’
duk_error(ctx, err_code, "%s", str);

Done building.
Run "/home/user/go-ethereum-1.8.1/build/bin/geth" to launch geth.

I did try 1.9.4 and it worked, but got the above as a warning only.
