the point is that if the linuxemu is provisioned properly (gmake, gcc, bash) to build the Plan 9 $GOBIN from source, then there wont be a need for a linux build box, or porting and maintaining gmake, gcc, bash, etc. one could also build Plan 9 binaries under linuxemu.
options as i see them are: 1. a linux build environment for Go which is also a partial dev environment (i.e. where 8g and 8l will run) 2. port (and maintain) all gnu tools needed to build Go from sources under Plan 9 3. a linuxemu build environment that is complete enough to compile Go and serve as Go compilation environment -Skip On Sun, Apr 3, 2011 at 10:46 AM, erik quanstrom <quans...@quanstro.net> wrote: > On Sun Apr 3 12:27:29 EDT 2011, skip.tavakkol...@gmail.com wrote: >> Why can't we use linuxemu to run the build? >> > > sure we could, but then you have to maintain linuxemu, and > go. that seems silly. > > - erik > >
