Compilation Question

Open TechnologyClassroom opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

Does asdf-golang have any interest in a compilation option in the future? I ran this command asdf install golang ref:$(asdf latest golang) expecting compilation, but received a binary installation instead.

gvm solves the bootstrapping issue by first compiling go1.4 and then compiling later versions.

I have a script that does this and it looks like gvm would work, but I am exploring the option of standardizing my tools around asdf.

I haven't actually thought about it to be honest. What would be the reason you want to do the compilation instead of the binary release?

Trust, the ability to customize the source, the ability to customize the build flags, the ability to install development versions, etc.

I would be happy to collaborate on something like that. You said you have a script that we could use as a starting point?

I do have a script, but the licensing is incompatible with MIT.

The gvm project has the functionality and also uses MIT. Relevant line in the install file.
