My go binaries end up in the src folder

Question

My binaries end up in the src folder and I have no idea why. I want them to end up in gopath/bin (since that is the default? and since I don't want binaries on git). The packages end up in gopath/pkg with their binaries in their respective folder. I don't even know if this folder structure is considered good.

Gopath is set to the gopath folder on the D:\ drive, and gobin is not set.

go setup

You use go install or go build? – chendesheng Aug 05 '14 at 11:36 — chendesheng, Aug 05 '14 at 11:36
"BuildAndRun" in LiteIDE. What else should I try? – Filip Haglund Aug 05 '14 at 11:42 — Filip Haglund, Aug 05 '14 at 11:42

If you can pass a command line parameter to LiteIDE's go build instruction, you can do something like this;

go build -o $GOPATH/bin/outputfile.exe source.go

As you can see in the liteIDE FAQ:

<action id="BuildAndRun" img="blue/buildrun.png" key="Ctrl+R;Ctrl+F7" task="Build;Run"/> <action id="Install" menu="Build" img="blue/install.png" key="Ctrl+F8" cmd="$(GO)" args="install $(INSTALLARGS)" save="all" output="true"/>

Build And Run is a go build.
Install is go install

Only the latter would build your exe in GOPATH/bin.
