Problem Description

Data Dog and it's use of embedded "C" is causing some weird issue with "Go" linking the sarama package.

DataDog was added to the Sarama package in e42dc76.

The only resolution I've found is to install mingw, and remove "gcc", which would cause a bunch of issues.

Sorry, I wrote the version wrong zstd was added in:

49c4c9a

Same issue here... Sarama should not include dependencies that embed C code !

disable CGO, can install on the windows env, please see #1182

nothing we can do right now as this was merged, hopefully we can get rid of cgo in the future.
Also, the zstd support is not working right now :(
