A fairly simple package that makes it easier to generate custom builds of your Go programs. This package is still experimental.
It takes as input three things:
- Path to the repository which will be customized
- A function that performs code generation to customize the build
- List of packages that are new dependencies of the modified code base
// Prepare a custom build that uses two new packages the original project doesn't use
builder, err := custombuild.New("../myproject", codeGenFunc, []string{
"github.com/fizz/fizz",
"github.com/foo/foo",
})
defer builder.Teardown() // always do this, even if error
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// Build for 64-bit Windows
err = builder.Build("windows", "amd64", "./windows_build.exe")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// Build for ARMv6 Linux
err = builder.BuildARM("linux", 6, "./arm_build")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}This tool requires the go tool to be installed and in your PATH. Since this tool calls go get -u, it requires any necessary version control system to be installed also (usually git).
