I admit, I am a bit new to golang... but not new to thrift.  I am using thrift Servers written in C#, Python, Java... but I would LOVE to look into golang.

I first started with my own teams .thrift file... but soon realized that I didn't understand golang enough to create the Handler... got lots of errors.

Plan B - well just spin up the tutorial, right?  Not quite.  I see in the golang tutorial a Makefile.am ... I have tried `autoreconf` `cmake` `make -f` .. none of these worked and there is no getting started read me or hint as to what tool makes this tutorial come together... which would help me then understand what I need to do to finish my own teams .thrift server.

 

```

cmake .
CMake Error: The source directory "/Users/emcp/Dev/git/golang_thrift_experiments/go" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.

autoreconf 
autoreconf: 'configure.ac' or 'configure.in' is required

make -f Makefile.am
make: *** No rule to make target `/tutorial/tutorial.thrift', needed by `gen-go/tutorial/calculator.go'. Stop.

```

folder structure is as follows
