Fail to install on Windows due to undefined syscalls

[naganumat]

I'm using godo for some products on Linux and Windows. Godo works fine on Linux, but on Windows, fails to install due to undefined syscalls.

> go get -u gopkg.in/godo.v2/cmd/godo
# gopkg.in/godo.v2/cmd/godo
src\gopkg.in\godo.v2\cmd\godo\main.go:202: undefined: syscall.Getpgid
src\gopkg.in\godo.v2\cmd\godo\main.go:206: undefined: syscall.Kill

Environment: Godo v2.0.7 (maybe), Go 1.5.3, Windows 7

I also get the same errors on both Cmder, and Cygwin.

Is there any status update on this? Otherwise then maybe just update README that Godo is not usable with Windows?

[mgutz]

The issues is Go is not very good at process handling. See questions like this on stackoverflow. If somebody can provide a solution to that on Windows, I'd be happy to merge it in.

It should be noted that this tool is way useful for cross platform development, since I can have my entire build expressed in golang and thus dispense with writing bash scripts for Linux builds and powershell scripts on windows. This issue blocks this use case.

@djhaskin987 Now there are other task runners supporting your use case, what makes godo a requirement for your project?

Here's a few, (google "golang task runner" for more)

• https://github.com/go-task/task
• https://github.com/rliebz/tusk
• https://github.com/tockins/realize (some windows support seems in place https://github.com/tockins/realize/issues/19)
• https://github.com/markbates/grift

Then there are the task runners written in other languages. Rust has very good Windows support for example.

@martinlindhe Thanks for that, I appreciate it :) I actually found mage, I'm looking into using it https://github.com/magefile/mage

Mage looks cool too! Glad you can move forward
