Thanks David, Will you add new Go releases there as they come out so that we can bootstrap from previous releases? Also, the Git script is working quite well for me. Thanks for that too.

Re: [9fans] Making available a pre-compiled go binary for Miller's plan-9 Pi image (Chris McGee)
Thanks David, Stanley, I managed to get the cross compile to work using the 9legacy go binaries and the git script. The workaround for the error I received before is to create a dummy rc script called 'install' and put it into my /bin. The go make.rc script calls it and continues on seemingly fine afterwards.

Re: [9fans] Making available a pre-compiled go binary for Miller's plan-9 Pi image (Chris McGee)
I tried this command with both go 1.7.3 and master branches. Both fail right after “ Building packages and commands for host, plan9/386” with an error “install: ./install not found.” It seems like the go bootstrap tool is trying to call a binary called “install” but there are none on my system. Is there such a command on p9bl? Maybe 9front doesn’t have it? It works fine if I don’t try to cross compile to plan9/arm or even linux/386.

Thanks David, These binaries are great as a starting point to compile newer versions of Go. I almost fully automated the preparation of my 9front rpi sd card images. Cross compiling from plan9 386 to plan9 arm using the bootstrap fails with this error: Install: './install' not found Maybe cross compile isn't working with Go on plan9 yet?

The binary I built was specifically for arm (or more accurately, for the raspi), on which I initially spent a chunk of time trying to get 1.4 building; eventually, as suggested here, cross-compiling on my Linux box was how I ended up getting things working. However, that process wasn't really intuitive, and felt a good chunk like wasted time. I figured having a binary available would save people some hassle; there's no real reason to make everyone cross-compile the binary, especially with as small a target platform as the pi, and for people like myself who weren't immediately aware of exactly what to do, it's more things to figure out for no real reason. Bandwidth is cheap, the binary's small, so I figured having it around would help other people who install plan 9 on their Pi to check it out. I'm already hosting it myself, but it seems like my link got me spam-filtered. I'm more just wondering where to make it more obvious that it's available, so noobies like myself can just grab it and play instead of having to spin the same wheels I did. Thanks! mars
Re: [9fans] Making available a pre-compiled go binary for Miller's plan-9 Pi image
An alternative to building a Go 1.4.3 bootstrap environment, is to build a Go 1.7 bootstrap environment for Plan 9 in a mainstream environment like Linux or Mac OS X, then use it to build Go 1.7 on Plan 9. General outline is to: * follow the instructions on how to clone and build Go 1.7 on, say, Linux. * once Go is built and installed, build a Plan 9 bootstrap cd $GOROOT/src GOOS=plan9 GOARCH=386 ./boostrap.bash this produces the bootstrap hierarchy in ../../go-plan9-386-bootstrap. copy the hierarchy over to Plan 9 and set GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP to that location, then build Go 1.7 on Plan 9. The general explanation of bootstrapping Go is here: https://golang.org/doc/install/source#go14 FYI, when i need to 'git clone' something on Plan 9, I mount the fs from Linux (p9p) and do the git stuff there.

> you have to have an n-1 version of Go to compile n You have to bootstrap from Go >= 1.4. If you want to build the current Go source from scratch on plan9/386, you can just do: cd /tmp git clone -b go1.4.3 https://go.googlesource.com/go go1.4 cd go1.4 hget http://9legacy.org/go/patch/syscall-exec.diff | ape/patch -p1 cd src make.rc GOROOT_BOOTSTRAP=/tmp/go1.4 cd /tmp git clone https://go.googlesource.com/go cd go/src make.rc This is documented on https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Plan9 -- David du Colombier
Re: [9fans] Making available a pre-compiled go binary for Miller's plan-9 Pi image
If you have troubles building Go on Plan 9, you can easily cross-compile Go for plan9/arm from another operating system. cd /usr/local/go/src GOOS=plan9 GOARCH=arm GOARM=7 ./bootstrap.bash Then you get /usr/local/go-plan9-arm-bootstrap.tbz, that you can extract on your Raspberry Pi. -- David du Colombier
Re: [9fans] Making available a pre-compiled go binary for Miller's plan-9 Pi image
I was thinking about this myself. I'm more in favour of a script that downloads the go source and compiles it since it seems to be more in the spirit of plan9. The trouble is that Go has made it harder to do now that you have to have an n-1 version of Go to compile n. This started with 1.5 but 1.5 doesn't seem to compile or run well on plan9. Maybe a compromise would be to have tbz binaries for 1.7 and a script that takes them and uses it to compile a fresh copy from sources and cleans up the bootstrap. Otherwise, you need to cross compile from another OS. Yuck.

[9fans] Making available a pre-compiled go binary for Miller's plan-9 Pi image
Hi All! I compiled a Go binary for use on Richard Miller's raspberry pi image in contrib (thanks for that Richard, by the way). I threw up a link to the binary in a previous email a week or two ago, but I think that email got spam filtered, so I won't link it again - but, is there a good place to make this available for ease-of-use? Woudl've been nice to just hget a tgz and extract it when I was getting things up and running the other day, instead of getting go set up on my linux box, compiling it, setting the final_goroot, etc. Richard, if you're comfortable with it, I could pass it to you to throw up on your contrib. Thanks! Marshall
