Unable to build binary for project with a dependency on go-graphviz

[mattfenwick]

Based on this example, I put together a tiny example repo bringing in go-graphviz.

I'm able to run go run successfully, but I'm not able to build binaries -- either for mac, or cross-compiling for linux.

package main

import (
	"github.com/goccy/go-graphviz"
)

func main() {
	g := graphviz.New()
	graph, _ := g.Graph()
	a, _ := graph.CreateNode("a")
	b, _ := graph.CreateNode("b")
	graph.CreateEdge("a2b", a, b)

	g.RenderFilename(graph, graphviz.PNG, "./graph.png")
}

Output:

./build.sh 
#set -euo pipefail

go run cmd/graphviz/main.go

I'm working on a Mac.

How can I build mac and linux binaries where I'm including go-graphviz ?

Any update on this? I am facing the same issues cross-compiling this project using Bazel:

me too， how to fix?

go-graphviz is cgo project. So CGO_ENABLED=1 value always required to build .
If you want to build static binary, specify --ldflags '-extldflags "-static"' instead of CGO_ENABLED=0

Can we have this as part of REAME document? It seems to be a frequently asked question

Hi were you able to resolve this? I'm having the same problem, not sure what to do.

tried to solve the same problem as descrived above, doing GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 GOHOSTOS=darwin GOHOSTARCH=amd64 CGO_ENABLED=1 go build -v -o bin/service
however, I receive more errors in result:

# runtime/cgo

CGO_ENABLED=1 v

Facing the same issue after following the suggestions from the thread. I tried GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 CGO_ENABLED=1 go build -o bin/some_name-linux main.go and bumped into this issue. Any solution?
