Build Golang projects properly with Makefiles

  BUILD=`git rev-parse HEAD` LDFLAGS=-ldflags "-X main.Version=${VERSION} -X main.Build=${BUILD}" # ... $(BINARY): go build ${LDFLAGS} -o {$BINARY} ./.. Please don't do that. This ties the build process to be run from inside the git repository, which starts to be a problem if you have any sane method of code deployment (building source packages). Think of something different. And yes, there is a typo in the build rules.

    I rather prefer this scenario, labeling a package release with vcs revision id or even branch name, for example.

  ${BINARY}: main.go go build $< -o $@ this way, make will know to re-build the binary only if the source code has changed.
