How to fix: "include file not found: xyz.h"?

This means that cxgo was unable to locate the included file.

Include lookup considers paths in the following order:

• Directory of the source file: ./xyz.h
• Local include directory: ./include/xyz.h (or ./includes/xyz.h)
• Any user-defined include paths from the config (include and sys_include)
• Bundled headers from cxgo

Having this in mind you could either:

• Add a config file directive: sys_include: ['/your/path/here'] (or include if the file is included as "xyz.h" and not <xyz.h>)
• Find and copy an included file into ./include
• If this is a header in question is from a C stdlib, consider contributing it to cxgo
