building for windows from osx

[ghost]

I cant get a Windows build :)

I have a setup for cross platform builds running from OSX and Linux.
But I cant build for Windows from OSX.

Would appreciate advice here !

Step to repo:

make build-win-fromosx

Makefile you can run from anywhere:

LIB=github.com/gen2brain/beeep
LIB_FSPATH=$(GOPATH)/src/$(LIB)

NAME=n

print:
	@echo Lib  -
	@echo LIB :$(LIB)
	@echo LIB_FSPATH  : $(LIB_FSPATH)
	#cd $(LIB_FSPATH) && ls -al 
	@echo


dep:
	go get $(LIB)

open-code:
	code $(LIB_FSPATH)

open-bash:
	bash $(LIB_FSPATH)


build-list:
	cd $(LIB_FSPATH) && ls -al

build-clean:
	cd $(LIB_FSPATH) && rm -rf $(NAME) go$(NAME) $(NAME).exe go$(NAME).exe *.tar.gz

build-win-fromosx:
	brew install mingw-w64

	go get gopkg.in/toast.v1

	#windows with cgo. It needs CGO
	#apt-get install gcc-multilib 
	#apt-get install gcc-mingw-w64
	cd $(LIB_FSPATH) && CC=i686-w64-mingw32-gcc-win32 CGO_ENABLED=1 GOOS=windows GOARCH=386 go build -o $(NAME).exe && tar zcfv "$(NAME)-windows-386.tar.gz" $(NAME).exe
	cd $(LIB_FSPATH) && rm -rf $(NAME).exe
	cd $(LIB_FSPATH) && CC=x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc CGO_ENABLED=1 GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build -o $(NAME).exe && tar zcfv "$(NAME)-windows-amd64.tar.gz" $(NAME).exe
	cd $(LIB_FSPATH) && rm -rf $(NAME).exe

build-win-fromlinux:
	#windows with cgo
	#apt-get install gcc-multilib 
	#apt-get install gcc-mingw-w64
	cd $(LIB_FSPATH) && CC=i686-w64-mingw32-gcc-win32 CGO_ENABLED=1 GOOS=windows GOARCH=386 go build -o $(NAME).exe && tar zcfv "$(NAME)-windows-386.tar.gz" $(NAME).exe
	cd $(LIB_FSPATH) && rm -rf $(NAME).exe
	cd $(LIB_FSPATH) && CC=x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc CGO_ENABLED=1 GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build -o $(NAME).exe && tar zcfv "$(NAME)-windows-amd64.tar.gz" $(NAME).exe
	cd $(LIB_FSPATH) && rm -rf $(NAME).exe


build-linux:
	#linux 
	go get github.com/godbus/dbus
	
	cd $(LIB_FSPATH) && CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux GOARCH=386 go build -o $(NAME) -ldflags "-s -w" && tar zcfv "$(NAME)-linux-386.tar.gz" $(NAME)
	cd $(LIB_FSPATH) && rm -rf $(NAME)
	cd $(LIB_FSPATH) && CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -o $(NAME) -ldflags "-s -w" && tar zcfv "$(NAME)-linux-amd64.tar.gz" $(NAME)
	cd $(LIB_FSPATH) && rm -rf $(NAME)

build-darwin:
	#darwin
	cd $(LIB_FSPATH) && CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=darwin GOARCH=386 go build -o $(NAME) -ldflags "-s -w" && tar zcfv "$(NAME)-darwin-386.tar.gz" $(NAME)
	cd $(LIB_FSPATH) && rm -rf $(NAME)
	cd $(LIB_FSPATH) && CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=darwin GOARCH=amd64 go build -o $(NAME) -ldflags "-s -w" && tar zcfv "$(NAME)-darwin-amd64.tar.gz" $(NAME)
	cd $(LIB_FSPATH) && rm -rf $(NAME)

Why do you want to build with CGO_ENABLED just on Windows? You need mingw toolchain if you are cross compiling something that use CGo, for native Go you don't need that.

I thought the toast lib needs cgo :) It doesn't ?

Nope, it builds template file and executes it with powershell. No cgo.

[gen2brain]

Actually for Windows in most cases you don't need to use cgo, e.g. https://github.com/gen2brain/dlgs/blob/master/dlgs_windows.go , better than Linux. For win32 API everything can be done with syscall, I guess only for new apis you will need cgo.
