Gobbler is a build tool for the Go programming language. It allows building and testing multi-package Go projects with one command, without need for manually written Makefiles.
Source code is available at http://github.com/orfjackal/gobbler
For discussion, use the golang-nuts mailing list, at least until Gobbler has so many users that it requires its own mailing list. You may also contact Gobbler's developer, Esko Luontola, by email.
-
Simple to use - Build the project and run its tests with one command-line command.
-
Convention over configuration - When files are put into source and test directories (/src/main/go and /src/test/go), then all packages and tests are detected automatically. The project configuration file should only need to say whether the project is a library or an executable, and what is the name of the executable.
-
Smart dependency handling - Allow packages (including test code) to depend on other packages in the same project, without requiring the build process to "make install" the dependencies to $GOROOT. Build only those packages which have changed since last build (or whose dependencies have changed). In the long-term, also dependencies to external libraries will be resolved automatically, similar to Maven et al.
