Build challenge with active-artemis-operator

[funkyjive]

I am following the instructions on the quick start to try this out. I am attempting to build the operator
(https://artemiscloud.io/docs/help/building/)

but as I attempt to do the make build, I get this error:

make: *** [Makefile:111: generate] Error 127

I have no experience with go, but I was digging around the makefile and trying to figure it out and it appears that the go-get-tool inside the makefile is meant to put a file in activemq-artemis-operator/bin, but that is clearly not happening. I am not sure how go is supposed to work for this.

I was successful attempting to do those instructions manually by manually getting the latest code from:

https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/controller-tools/tree/master/cmd/controller-gen

and doing:

go build -o ~/dev/activemq-artemis-operator/bin/controller-gen

and I was able to get by this, but then immediately ran into problems with kustomize.

I am not sure what I am doing wrong, other than I wondered if my problem is that I my go was the latest 1.19?

go version go1.19.4 linux/amd64

The go installation took me to the latest 1.19 instead of 1.17. I can attempt to downgrade to 1.17 if that will really solve it.

Ok, so I changed to 1.17 and the build worked. I'll follow directions better next time.
