Cross compile Go on OSX?

by

With Go 1.5 they seem to have improved the cross compilation process, meaning it is built in now. No ./make.bash-ing or brew-ing required. The process is described here but for the TLDR-ers (like me) out there: you just set the GOOS and the GOARCH environment variables and run the go build.

For the even lazier copy-pasters (like me) out there, do something like this if you’re on a *nix system:

env GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm go build -v github.com/path/to/your/app

You even learned the env trick, which let you set environment variables for that command only, completely free of charge.
