Build fromm scratch

[Eckert-IT]

I like to use this package offline for different Workstation. How do I build this from scratch (like make) ?

Please see the documentation on https://go.dev, for example the tutorial, and in particular https://go.dev/doc/tutorial/compile-install

From the rsync git checkout directory, use go install github.com/gokrazy/rsync/cmd/... to compile and install all commands.

Thank you for your gently answer. I'm pretty new to this topic.

Do you think that it should be possible to build this for a windows environment?

[stapelberg]

Our GitHub Actions CI already verifies that gokrazy/rsync always builds for Linux, macOS and Windows, so yes.

Thank you very much.

Thank you again for your work. I was able to run the program within an Windows-Environment with

go install github.com/gokrazy/rsync/cmd/gokr-rsyncd@latest
gokr-rsyncd --daemon --gokr.listen=localhost:8730 --gokr.modulemap=pwd=$PWD

But I can't build the project to an executeable file like: go build -o gokr-rsyncd.exe github.com/gokrazy/rsync/rsyncd

I tried twice: on a Windows machine an on a Raspberry Pi. The error message (on a Windows machine) is always the same, that the output is a "unsupported 16 bit application" (Windows Event ID 1109, http://deusexmachina.uk/evdoco/event.php?event=937).

Enviroment variables see to be Ok:

GOARCH=amd64
GOHOSTARCH=amd64
GOHOSTOS=windows
GOOS=windows

I tried to look it up like this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26951762/i-cant-run-go-programs-anymore

But I can't find my mistake and would appreciate any help. Thank you.

You’re using the wrong import path. You wrote “github.com/gokrazy/rsync/rsyncd”, you should be using a path within cmd, e.g. “github.com/gokrazy/rsync/cmd/gokr-rsyncd”

Thank you again. I used the wrong Import path and didn't see it.
