Doesn't this require your development machine to use the same architecture and OS as your server?

- wtf_is_up 13y agoNo. It's simple to build Go toolchains for whatever your deploy os/arch target is. Then you just cross-compile. * Download Go source * Extract, cd go/src/ * GOOS=linux GOARCH=386 ./make.bash #this will build the linux_386 toolchain * GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 ./make.bash #linux_amd64 * GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm ./make.bash #you get the picture GOOS can be windows, darwin, freebsd, netbsd, plan9. Then when you want to cross-compile your app, you do: GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm go build myApp.go That's it. Now you have a statically linked binary that you can drop on whatever your target is. As someone who has had to cross-compile a lot of C and C++ code, I find this simplicity to be a huge win.
- chc 13y agoThanks for that. It's been a while since I used Go. That is quite nice.
