How to compile Go program consisting of multiple files?

by

New Way (Recommended):

Please take a look at this answer.

Old Way:

Supposing you’re writing a program called myprog :

Put all your files in a directory like this

myproject/go/src/myprog/xxx.go

Then add myproject/go to GOPATH

And run 

go install myprog

This way you’ll be able to add other packages and programs in myproject/go/src if you want.

(this doc is always missed by newcomers, and often ill-understood at first. It should receive the greatest attention of the Go team IMO)
