Instructions in Development section of README not working

[hannobraun]

Executing the instructions from the Development section of the README leads to an error:

$ git clone https://github.com/arduino/arduino-create-agent.git
$ cd arduino-create-agent/
$ export GOPATH=$PWD
$ go get

go install: no install location for directory /home/hanno/tmp/Projects/arduino-create-agent outside GOPATH
        For more details see: 'go help gopath'

The reasons for this error is, that the repository is not a properly set up GOPATH. The following works for me:

(edit: The following instructions are not fully correct. See my comment below.)

$ mkdir -p go/src
$ cd go/
$ export GOPATH=$PWD
$ cd src/
$ git clone https://github.com/arduino/arduino-create-agent.git
$ cd arduino-create-agent/
$ go get
$ go build

There's also mention of a script called compile_webidebridge.sh, which I didn't see anywhere.

Please note that my workaround is wrong. Cloning arduino-create-agent into $GOPATH/src/arduino-create-agent, as I suggested, will prevent changes to the sub-packages from being picked up by the build tool, as the sub-packages are imported via GitHub, not their relative path.

The repository should be cloned into $GOPATH/src/github.com/arduino/arduino-create-agent, as per the Go conventions. It might be better to use go get for this, instead of doing it manually.
