Go get github.com/andlabs/ui
After trying to run, I get the following error

Make sure you mention your environment when opening an issue. I see you're using Windows, and I can tell the version of mingw but not the version of Go and the way your gcc is configured.

On Go 1.11, current version of ui I built fine with gcc version 8.1.0 (x86_64-posix-seh-rev0, Built by MinGW-W64 project) but couldn't build with the same version of gcc using sjsj exceptions on 64 bit. It looks like you're using 32 bit, so I tried with gcc version 8.1.0 (i686-posix-dwarf-rev0, Built by MinGW-W64 project) but then I realized I'd need to switch to 32 bit Go to test that (I think... I'm not terribly familiar with that). I also don't have gcc 5.3 installed.

I'm getting this error on Windows 10 64-bit. Here's the gcc -v output:

It appears MinGW does not like having spaces in its directory name.

      It appears MinGW does not like having spaces in its directory name.

You're correct, which is why there are no spaces in its install path.

[andlabs]

@sheppe that is the problem in the original post. Your error is likely different; can you post it?

@sheppe that's #279

@SammyLee666 have you tried updating MinGW-w64? If so, and it still doesn't work, I suggest reporting that it doesn't like having its own files in a directory with spaces to them.
