 This error is not really a problem: "no install location for directory
 /builds/eighthave/go-webrtc outside GOPATH". You can ignore it. It just
 means that your checkout of go-webrtc isn't under GOPATH; i.e., you did
 `git clone https://github.com/keroserene/go-webrtc` rather than `go get
 github.com/keroserene/go-webrtc` initially. That's actually how I usually
 do it too. But to make the error message go away, you can use `go get` to
 download the go-webrtc repo.

 Go 1.11 took steps away from using a centralized GOPATH and introduced
 [https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules modules]. That's probably why
 you don't get the error under 1.11.

 The rbm Tor Browser build actually doesn't use `go get` at all--we
 manually `git clone` the main repo and all its dependencies and put them
 in the same place under GOPATH that `go get` would have put them. We do
 that because before the new modules system, there wasn't a way to download
 a specific commit hash for each dependency.
