Description

I have recently ran git pull on the kubo repo, and I could not build the binaries. The build worked alright just before, so I think that might have something to do with recent changes.

What version of Go are you using (i.e. output of go version)? The output of go env might also be helpful as well.

[gsergey418]

$ go version
go version go1.22.2 linux/amd64

[aschmahmann]

Try a later version of Go (e.g. latest 1.22.X or 1.23.X). I think 1.22.4 has the fixes you need (golang/go#67236)

[gsergey418]

I have filed a PR #10676 that seems to automatically use the right version. It builds fine and uses the right go version.

My understanding is that this is a Go bug that was already fixed and released. Can you try without the PR using the latest patched version of Go (e.g. 1.22.11 or 1.23.5) and report back?

[gsergey418]

Yep, it works on 1.22.11. I'm closing the PR then
