I notice you're using Go 1.12. Building sqlc requires Go >= 1.16. Once you've upgraded to that version, let me know if you're still seeing this bug

[kyleconroy]

Oops, after reading this again, 1.12 is the sqlc version.

What version of Go are you using?

[zmitry]

same for me
go 1.17
sqlc version from main

I'm seeing the same problem after I tried to vendor my dependencies. Reason seems to be that the include sub-folder below parser does not make it into the vendor tree.
Are you vendor as well?

This issue explains it golang/go#26366 .
Solution from the sqlcs end would be to move the .h files in the parser package instead of having them in the include folder which apparently gets dropped because there are no go files in it. Also putting a dummy go file in the include dir could work (don't know if that needs to get used to not be dropped by vendoring).

The instructions on the module with the vendoring issue resolved it for me.
