Use syscall.GUID #5

Closed bbigras closed 10 years ago

lxn commented 10 years ago

I wasn't aware of syscall.GUID. Maybe there are some more "hidden treasures"?

Please add yourself to the AUTHORS file.

Thanks!

I think syscall.GUID is not listed on http://golang.org/pkg/syscall/ because it's not the Windows' version. It's listed if you run godoc -http=:6060 on a Windows machine and browser http://localhost:6060/pkg/syscall/.

Yes maybe there's more.

Please add yourself to the AUTHORS file.

Done.

syscall.GUID results in an error when cross compiling to Windows from Linux.

$ go version
go version go1.2 linux/amd64
$ go get ./...
# github.com/lxn/win
../../../github.com/lxn/win/ole32.go:56: undefined: syscall.GUID

Sorry for the late reply. I haven't thought about cross compiling. Have you also tried to cross compile walk? Feel free to send a pull request, if you like.

Thanks!

Yeah I was trying to cross compile walk, which imports win in ole32. That's where the cross compile issue showed up. Will submit a pull request soon.
