How to compile a GO software ?

GO is an open source programming language. GO softwares can be compiled for many plateforms using cross-compilation.

1- Install GO

2- Open a terminal and set the working directory to the folder containing the source files (src for example)

3- Compile the software for your computer using the command : go build

4- optionally it is possible to cross-compile for another operating system or CPU using GOOS and GOARCH

for example :

GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build
