You need to update to a newer version of golang.org/x/sys/unix.

I managed to get around my issue after running:

go clean -i -cache -x -r

Then did the go get .... and all worked again no more errors.

@devanshah2 In the Go 1.12 release all the features of vgo are available in the normal Go tool, if you set the environment variable GO111MODULE=on.

Tried to compile it with go 1.12 without using vgo

# go version
go version go1.12 linux/amd64

update sys/unix (just in case)

# export GO111MODULE=on
# go get -u golang.org/x/sys/unix
go: finding golang.org/x/sys/unix latest
go: finding golang.org/x/sys latest
go: downloading golang.org/x/sys v0.0.0-20190318195719-6c81ef8f67ca
go: extracting golang.org/x/sys v0.0.0-20190318195719-6c81ef8f67ca

After these steps, all went fine. Without running go get -u golang.org/x/sys/unix while GO111MODULE is on I was getting the error mentioned above.

Upon further investigation it turned out that I already had package “golang.org/x/sys” pinned in go.mod, which was probably causing the issue with go 1.12 when using modules.

In the current golang.org/x/sys/unix sources, kevent on darwin/amd64 does not call Syscall6. I don’t see how you could get the errors you report with the current sources. Can you double check?
