How to compile?

[lpvm]

It would be nice if you can show how to compile from source.

make release complains about the present directory not being .git repository.

No problem.

make release attempts to build for all architectures, sign the binaries, and push a release to Github etc., so that's not what you want.

If you want to build from source for the architecture of the machine doing the building, the steps are:

• Install Go >= v1.14
• From the root of the source code, use Go to build the program go build -o gemini ./cmd/main.go
  • The -o gemini flag sets the output filename to gemini.
  • Go will download any 3rd party dependencies automatically, and produce a binary.
  • Once you've got the binary, you don't need to have Go installed on the machine.

I've just added a build step to the Makefile, so you should be able to do make build and get a binary out, if you've got Go >= 1.14 already installed.

If you want to build from one machine (e.g. an x64 Windows machine) to target another (e.g. an ARM Raspberry Pi), you can set Go's GOARCH and GOOS environment variables before compilation, and it will compile for that target.

Is that what you needed?

Thank you very much! Yes, that's it. I'm sure it'll be of help for other people as well.
