Using Go Modules with packages that require "make install"

I have an external package that apart from the usual go get, needs to run make install in its $GOPATH/src directory in order to use it (performs some makefile and git magic).

Trying to use this package with modules means a copy of it is downloaded to the vendor library using go mod vendor. However, this copy is not a git repository so running make install inside the package's vendor folder fails.

Does this mean that the package cannot be used in a module and I have to revert to using GOPATH?

Yes.

Contact the author and make him to check in what the makefile does.
