https://github.com/mitchellh/gox, run the build against gox.
no docker no CHROOT for arches required.
add gox support.
Gox is a simple, no-frills tool for Go cross compilation that behaves a lot like standard go build. Gox will parallelize builds for multiple platforms. Gox will also build the cross-compilation toolchain for you.
I don't see the benefit currently. Maybe once the build requirements are more clear.
mainly gox will do windows 32/64 , LINUX 32/64 , BSD 32/64 , MACOS,etc....
basicly if you need a go binary it will via gox you can build on a single machine but deploy many..
gox hugo main.go , in theory you could rig the makefile , to use gox wrapper to goexe build.... , (ex.) thus getting multiple executables , for multiple platforms..
grumpy -gox my-py-script..py my-new.go -g-comp test.exe
test.32.exe , test64.exe , test.32Linux.so , test.64-Linux-.so ,BSD, etc...
mainly if compiling the go files... just gives a lazy means of cross-compile in a hurry. also allows deployment via muti-platform at scale...
Thanks for the extra details. I do plan simplifications to the make system and more reliance on go build. If that doesn't suffice and cross compilation becomes an important use case then I may give Gox more consideration.
My main hesitance is in adding more dependencies. Currently Grumpy depends on very little and I'll need a very good reason to add more.
no biggy , I just figured as a user option ie via config or file -gox sometime down the line... as a optional feature.. most users won't need , but for devs/power "Ab-user-s" a nice to have when called for.
mainly it would make windows/ etc ports less a pain... some clients , "need a toy".. restrict python to even run the "toy".. on jump boxes..
. so thus getting a go-bin so cross building out a file as the occasional as needed one-off would be handy from time to time.
I do SIEM deploys , so getting reports , on deploy , and diag some of the py scripts from windows jump boxes..... when python aint going to be installed........ nuts...
