Error bulding golang binding on MacOS M2 about mlpack

[rcurtin]

Hey there @arjunsk, thanks for the report. I'm not a Go expert, but I think we can get it working. Some comments in reverse order:

• For Attempt 3, I see that you are using mlpack-3.0.4.tar.gz. That's pretty out of date. Try building mlpack from source as specified in the second part of the Go binding documentation in the README... I think that should work better. Of course, building by hand is not the most desirable solution, so, onwards to the other ones...

• For Attempt 2, after changing the Makefile, did you remove the build/ directory before you tried again? I think you need to do that.

• For Attempt 1, I think I might see the issue. The Makefile detects the OS based on the output of uname -s. That should be Darwin for OS X detection to succeed. What is uname -s on your system? If it is Darwin, what are the contents of the Makefile? Is it empty? I'm not sure why the install target wouldn't be found.

Sorry that it took so long to respond to this one.

Thank you for your input! I did not continue my CGO pursuit.

I only needed Elkan's kmeans from this library. Since there was no existing Golang library I wrote one myself.
