Failed to compile the source code of apmserver.

[ysj2018]

I downloaded the source code of apmserver version 8.13.0, and I have a local Windows environment with Go 1.21.6 installed and the environment variables configured.

After navigating (using cd) to the root directory of the apmserver, I executed the make command, but received no response at all, not even an error message.

I suspect that the issue might be related to my environment, but after running go env, I found that it seemed normal. Please tell me what other possible reasons there might be, or if I'm missing any critical steps.

Here are my specific steps:

Use git to download the code for version 8.13.0.
Open Command Prompt (I have also tried PowerShell) as an administrator and navigate to the root directory of apmserver.
Execute the make command, but receive no response at all.
These are the steps I followed, yet I got no output or feedback from executing the make command.

Hello @ysj2018, the Makefile in this project is not expected to work on Windows.

If you want to use Windows please directly use go build.

Thank you for your answer. I tried to execute the go build command in the root directory of apmserver, but I encountered an error, which said: "no Go files in D:\app\apmserver\apm-server". And indeed, I couldn't find any .go files in the root directory. How can I solve this problem?
