"make daemon" doesn't build on Go 1.16 due to changes to its module system about c-sdk HOT 2 OPEN

Hi @ralvecosta,

Sorry to hear about the error.

Starting with g 1.16, go requires use of modules by default.

From the release notes:

Note that Go 1.16 requires use of Go modules by default, now that, according to our 2020 Go Developer Survey, 96% of Go developers have made the switch. We recently added official documentation for developing and publishing modules.

However, in the release notes(and thanks to @joeshaw for also providing the details), they also documented how to change the default.

Modules

Module-aware mode is enabled by default, regardless of whether a go.mod file is present in the current working directory or a parent directory. More precisely, the GO111MODULE environment variable now defaults to on. To switch to the previous behavior, set GO111MODULE to auto.

This can be accomplished in a variety of ways. 2 of those ways are:

1. Add export GO111MODULE=auto to the .bashrc file
   OR
2. From the system prompt, type export GO111MODULE=auto && go1.16 env GO111MODULE auto

@ralvescosta please let us know if one of the above solves the issue for you.

Unfortunately, for backwards compatibility purposes, we still support a very old version of go and so are not quite able to move forward to current best practices as recommended by @joeshaw

I can't compile the daemon, I got the same error. I'm tried using go 1.16.7 and 1.17.1 and in both, I received the same error.
