Trying to package an app written in Go for AUR [solved]

Hello,

I'm trying to package a tiny app written in Go for AUR, namely addinclude.

When using makepkg+pacman or yaourt, the package installs fine. But, when using clyde, I get:

==> Validating source files with md5sums...
    addinclude-0.4.tbz2 ... Passed
==> Extracting Sources...
  -> Extracting addinclude-0.4.tbz2 with bsdtar
==> Entering fakeroot environment...
==> Starting build()...
  -> Compiling...
echo GOROOT is /usr/lib/go
GOROOT is /usr/lib/go
6g addinclude.go
addinclude.go:16: can't find import: fmt
make: *** [addinclude.6] Error 1
    Aborting...
error: Build failed

"go" is installed, and "fmt" does exist in:
/usr/lib/go/pkg/linux_amd64/fmt.a

This is only an issue with clyde. With makepkg+pacman it works great:

==> Starting build()...
  -> Compiling...
6g addinclude.go
6l -o addinclude addinclude.6
  -> Packaging...

Is this a problem with enviroment variables in this particular combination with go and clyde?

In addition, I get the following warning when installing the package,

==> WARNING: Package contains reference to $srcdir

But, I can't find any place where that is the case. I've searched through all the files in the pkg directory using the "cg" tool (from the cgvg package) and find/strings/grep.

Why could this be?

Any help is welcome. Thanks.

By adding a declaration of the GOROOT, GOOS and GOBIN environment variables to the makefile, this issue disappeared. Perhaps clyde handles environment variables differently?
Strange, but now it's solved.
