Build

Linux

Building apps requires the gtk3, libappindicator3 and libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev development headers to be installed. For Debian or Ubuntu, you can may install these using:

sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev libappindicator3-dev libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev

Running app requires xsel and notify-send programs to be installed. For Debian or Ubuntu you can install these using:

sudo apt-get install xsel libnotify-bin

Windows

To avoid opening a console at application startup, use these compile flags:

go build -ldflags -H=windowsgui

You'll also need to include a Manifest for your windows app. Create a file goTranslate.manifest like this:

   <assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
       <assemblyIdentity version="1.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="*" name="App Name Here" type="win32"/>
       <dependency>
           <dependentAssembly>
               <assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls" version="6.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="*" publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df" language="*"/>
           </dependentAssembly>
       </dependency>
       <application xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
           <windowsSettings>
               <dpiAwareness xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2016/WindowsSettings">PerMonitorV2, PerMonitor</dpiAwareness>
               <dpiAware xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2005/WindowsSettings">True</dpiAware>
           </windowsSettings>
       </application>
   </assembly>

Then either compile the manifest using the rsrc tool, like this:

go get github.com/akavel/rsrc
rsrc -manifest goTranslate.manifest -o rsrc.syso

Cross-compile for windws host using docker

Create and switch to windows docker context using windows-docker-machine
Build image

cd docker
docker build -t gotranslate-build .
mkdir build
docker run --rm -v C:$(pwd)/build:C:/build -it gotranslate-build:latest

Compiled windows binary will appear in the build directory
