Go is expressive, concise, clean, -and efficient. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write -programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, -while its novel type system enables flexible and modular program -construction. Go compiles quickly to machine code yet has the -convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time -reflection. It's a fast, statically typed, compiled language that -feels like a dynamically typed, interpreted language. - -The tools are added to the path by putting go.sh and go.csh files in -/etc/profile.d and letting the system's /etc/profile or /etc/csh.login -pick it up. If you want to add any of Go's environment variables you -can add them there. - -Also, to easily setup a user-independent path for Go libraries to -be installed to and used, is the GOPATH environment variable. This -variable can be colon delimited. For example, once installing the -built google-go-lang package, then set in your user's ~/.bashrc -something like: - - export GOPATH="$HOME" - -Then, you'll be able to use the `go` command to install an additional -library that will not need root permission and will be in the -compiler's path. Like so: - - go get golang.org/x/tools/cmd/godoc - -Now in ~/src you'll have this source code checked-out, and a binary -built at ~/bin/godoc - -Since the golang idiom is very `go get'able as a limited user, -installed libraries from slackbuilds.org are located outside of GOROOT -(which is only for golang standard library), in /usr/share/gocode By -not setting a system-wide GOPATH defaulting to this location, then -it is up to the user of whether to include this system path as well, -like: - - export GOPATH="$HOME:/usr/share/gocode" - -This system source directory is primarly only for buildtime of -slackbuilds. - -This is because `go get' iterates through the paths provided, looking -for matching imports. If a match is not found, then is cloned to the -first path provided. You would not want this to be a system path, as -to need root privilege to clone source. - -As of go1.2, the 'go doc ...' command has been relocated to the -go.tools library (golang-googlecode-gotools), which provide `godoc`. - -As of go1.5, shared libraries are now supported. The flags to use -linking are available for `go get`, `go install` and `go build`. -To learn more see `go help buildmode`. - -To elect to run the buildtime tests of this package, provide the -environment variable RUN_TEST=true at build time. |
