Running

go install github.com/emicklei/melrose/cmd/melrose@latest

this installation fails due to an error in the lib github.com/rakyll/portmidi:

There's an open issue in the project to distribute portmidi.h and porttime headers as part of the repo, to which I proposed a fix a while ago, however it seems like no ones maintaining the project anymore.

thank you for reporting this. I am surprised to see the portmidi dependency. I believe it is no longer used. Will check it now.

this command does not have this problem, can you try?

go install -v github.com/emicklei/melrose/...@latest

Ernest Micklei · Answer 4 · Fri Aug 19 2022 04:00:41 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

better do this:

go install -v github.com/emicklei/melrose/cmd/melrose...@latest

I've never seen this syntax before? Reference?

Seems to work on my machine as well :-)

Once upon a time, this package folder cmd/melrose had a go.mod. This is being cached in proxy.golang.org
The entry cannot be removed afaik. A workaround is to put back this go.mod and update it too on each release.

go install github.com/emicklei/melrose/cmd/melrose@latest
go: downloading github.com/emicklei/melrose/cmd/melrose v0.0.0-20220828123158-ba7d32bd6817
go: downloading github.com/emicklei/melrose v0.46.1
....

now works
