Hyperledger Fabric cp cannot stat build docker gotools bin protoc-gen-go No such file or directory

Question

I am following this guide: http://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Setup/Chaincode-setup/#option-1-vagrant-development-environment.

When I try to 'make peer', command is shown as:

vagrant@ubuntu-1404:/opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/devenv$ cp: cannot stat 'build/docker/gotools/bin/protoc-gen-go': No such file or directory

Answer 1

Do this:

$go get -u github.com/golang/protobuf/protoc-gen-go

$ cp $GOPATH/bin/protoc-gen-go build/docker/gotools/bin/

Now you'll have the file mentioned in the error. Now run the make command
