Type mismatch causing go-steam not to build. about go-steam HOT 4 CLOSED

Your analysis seems about right, but I am not seeing this error on go1.3 windows/amd64. What version of Go are you using? (go version command output). I'll merge #14 if it fixes the issue, but I'd like to solve that riddle first :)

Though I don't see how your program above compiles - there are unused imports which Go usually sees as a reason to abort compilation. Or did you shorten the example?

Regarding the suggestion to change the types to the proper steamlang types, it is indeed not possible since Go does not allow circular imports (steamlang also uses a bit of the steamid package).

I am on go1.3 linux/amd64 and I did not see the compilation issue but still did a pull request for the bug RJacksonm1 found.

I'm using go1.3.1 linux/amd64. I think you're right about my app not compiling - I do recall some errors about unused imports showing up, but I actually went to bed before I got the app to compile. I posted this issue as soon as I figured out how to resolve the error in go-steam.

I was also using the go build command, rather than go run - if that makes any difference.

Interesting. I updated my Go installation to 1.3.1 and experienced the same issue as @RJacksonm1. I'll merge #14 then. Curious though - this should not happen with a bugfix release, should it?
