MacOS unable to bundle for Windows

[Fabian Kammel]

When I tried to bundle for Windows on MacOS I got the following error

[...]
DEBU[0032] Building for os windows and arch amd64
DEBU[0032] Executing go build -ldflags -s -X "main.AppName=Astilectron demo" -X "main.BuiltAt=2018-12-02 13:22:56.834262 +0100 CET m=+32.398994832" -H windowsgui -o /Users/datosh/Code/go-astilectron-demo/output/windows-amd64/binary .

: exit status 1

After manually go getting the specified package, I got the same error for package github.com/mattn/go-colorable.

Same procedure. I downloaded it manually via go get, and afterwards was able to build for windows. both amd64 & 386.

Maybe these are just some missing deps in the bundler?

Happy to provide more infos, if needed.

Cheers,

@datosh mmmm I think this is a go get problem.

Basically when you use go get, it will install packages needed by your OS (MacOSX in your case). If other packages are needed to cross-compile for another OS, they won't be installed automatically.

Therefore you don't have any other choice than installing them manually.

If anybody has a better solution I'm all ears.

Closing this issue for now.
