undefined: vips.Startup about govips HOT 5 CLOSED

I just performed a clean installation on a new environment, same results. Steps:

-Install golang 1.24.4
-Create new project (go mod init test)
-Install govips go get -u github.com/davidbyttow/govips/v2/vips
-go mod tidy (optional, but omitting this step doesn't affect the result)
-Try to use it (vips.Startup(nil))
-Same error undefined: vips.Startup

Did you install the go module? Looks like an issue with your environment, not a bug with govips.

@tonimelisma sorry for bothering, but what do you mean by "install the go module"?
If you mean go get -u github.com/davidbyttow/govips/v2/vips, then sure, I did it. Maybe I am missing something? I have no clue what could be an issue in my environment. Would appreciate any help

I have the same problem and can't get the package set up. I follow the documentation and the examples in /examples.
Tried several variations, like github.com/davidbyttow/govips/v2, vips github.com/davidbyttow/govips/v2/vips, vips github.com/davidbyttow/govips/v2...

What are we doing wrong?

I have now discovered that the error only occurs under Windows, at least for me - the same code compiles under Linux and Mac OS without any problems. Can anyone confirm this?
Any ideas, maybe @tonimelisma ? 🙂
