Confused on how to build a go project from source

Question

I'm trying to build the Ethereum node Geth: https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum I cloned the project in my src folder ( in a folder called geth, should not metter, right? ) and when I try to run/compile does not find:

"github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/accounts"
"github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/accounts/keystore"
"github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/cmd/utils"

and currently these file exists, as part of the project I'm trying to compile, so I don't actually understand why is referring the repository on line, and, in any case, why it does not work

"should not metter, right?" Wrong. – Volker Sep 26 '18 at 08:05 — Volker, Sep 26 '18 at 08:05

You must clone the geth source in the exact folder in your GOPATH, actual path should be GOPATH/src/github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum.
