Also  if all you are trying to do is break up the main go file into multiple files   then just name the other files  package main  as long as you only define the main function in one of those files  you are good to go

Make sure that your package is installed in your  GOPATH directory or already inside your workspace package   For example  if your  GOPATH    c  go   make sure that the package inside C  Go src pkgName

Yes  each package must be defined in its own directory   The source structure is defined in How to Write Go Code    A package is a component that you can use in more than one program  that you can publish  import  get from an URL  etc  So it makes sense for it to have its own directory as much as a program can have a directory
