go/draw does not work on native plan9 system.

[LordRusk]

Note: I was running the latest version of 9front in virtualbox.

I was rewriting a small graphics example I found in C that used libdraw to make a bouncing ball in Go using go/draw. Somehow I missed the first line on the pkg.go.dev which states that the package connects to devdraw from plan9port. This essentially means that go/draw doesn't work on plain plan9 OS or a fork of it?

Is there any plans to add support for native plan9 or does someone know of an equivalent beyond using cgo?

[mischief]

an archive of my old code from bitbucket can be found at https://github.com/Plan9-Archive/draw9. it is not maintained and probably doesn't work. feel free to use, or maintain it.

Otherwise there's also a kind of up-to-date fork https://github.com/psilva261/go (based on the fork https://github.com/knusbaum/go). Different from draw9 a new window is created though. Actually I tested draw9 recently and I could start the commands although I don't remember if I had to change anything
