as far as I can tell you can't really create a C compatible shared library from [Go]. Sure you can! (as of Go 1.5, iirc) Change your build command to use the c-shared build mode: go build -buildmode=c-shared Then, to change the linkage of the functions you want to export, use the magical comment "//export" directive: //export MyFunction func MyFunction(arg1, arg2 int, arg3 string) int64 { ...
