go-dist

Distribution automation script for programs written in Go

Working with build.sh

What the script does

It builds executable binaries for different operating systems using the GOOS feature. The script also builds debian packages for both architectures. Currently supports these systems:

1. darwin/386        8. linux/amd64    15. linux/mips64    22. openbsd/arm
2. darwin/amd64      9. linux/arm      16. linux/mips64le  23. plan9/386
3. dragonfly/amd64  10. linux/arm64    17. netbsd/386      24. plan9/amd64
4. freebsd/386      11. linux/ppc64    18. netbsd/amd64    25. solaris/amd64
5. freebsd/amd64    12. linux/ppc64le  19. netbsd/arm      26. windows/386
6. freebsd/arm      13. linux/mips     20. openbsd/386     27. windows/amd64
7. linux/386        14. linux/mipsle   21. openbsd/amd64

Usage

First of all, navigate to your go source directory where you run go build command to build the binary. Then follow these -

Making .dist directory and navigating to it

$ mkdir .dist
$ cd .dist

git it

$ git clone https://github.com/muhammadmuzzammil1998/go-dist .

Don't forget to clone in the same directory (.)

Making build.sh executable

$ chmod 777 ./build.sh

Running build.sh

$ ./build.sh

Couple of things to note

1. You should be in the main go directory of your project. That is, the place you run go test, go build etc. commands.
2. This repository (go-dist) should be a direct sub-directory to the main go directory. Structure should look like this:

- ./
-- main.go
-- other_files.Go
-- main_test.Go
-- README.md
-- .dist/
-- -- build.sh
