What did you do?

I followed the tutorial on https://golang.org/doc/code.html till the section Your First Library.

What did you expect to see?

When I run command go install github.com/user/hello, it's expected to install hello.exe in folder bin and pakage stringutil.a in folder pkg.

What did you see instead?

I got only hello.exe in bin, but nothing in pkg.

Thank you - this is indeed an error in the example at https://golang.org/doc/code.html

This behaviour changed in Go 1.10: https://golang.org/doc/go1.10#build

The go install command now installs only the packages and commands listed directly on the command line. For example, go install cmd/gofmt installs the gofmt program but not any of the packages on which it depends.

You can safely ignore the fact that stringutil.a is not in the pkg directory structure. To all intents and purposes it doesn't make any difference.

Duplicate of #24506, for which a CL has already been created, but waiting on OP (@jdparkinson93).
