Compiling Golang under Windows

This is a created article in which the information may have evolved or changed.

First, I have a version of 1.7 installed under C:\go.

Because see go source code, sometimes hope in some library implementation to add small changes. This facilitates understanding. Another code was extracted under the D:/go-devel/go directory.

You can look at this file:

File:///D:/go-devel/go/doc/install-source.html

Because the author has to look after all kinds of situations, wordy.

There are only two things you need to do to compile a new go:

1 Setting Environment variables:

Goroot_bootstrap=c:/go

Cgo_enable=0

2 run under D:/GO-DEVEL/GO/SRC, All.bat.

Compile something new and put it under the D:/go-devel/go/bin.

Switch to the new compiled environment, modify the Goroot variable, and remove C:\go from path, add D:\go-devel\go

See if it's true,

D:\go-devel\go\src\net\http>go version
