Cross platform build failed

When I tried to build from OS X for Linux, it says:

The same happens for me. I am using an amd64 linux and trying to compile for windows, os x and freebsd. All of them fail with the same message.

I've tried CC=gcc and CC=clang. Nothing changes.

[mattn]

Could you please try GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go install -x ?

[elgs]

Still no luck.

$ go version
go version go1.2 darwin/amd64
32:gsyncd elgs$ GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go -x install
flag provided but not defined: -x

It must be GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go install -x with the -x after install. I think that $CC does nothing for go. When I use it it still uses go's 6c. Example:

$ CC=gcc GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go install -x
WORK=/tmp/go-build504111402
mkdir -p $WORK/github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3/_obj/
mkdir -p $WORK/github.com/mattn/

Also, I've found this https://code.google.com/p/go/issues/detail?id=4714 . Seems like it is on the subject. CGO_ENABLED is forcefully set to 0 when corss compiling for some reason.

Now I'm wondering if it is not possible to do cross platform compile as it contains c program, so it is not in pure go?

[ironsmile]

Well It seems it is exactly that. For example when building for my native machine with CGO_ENABLED=0 I did get the same message:

$ CGO_ENABLED=0 go install -x
WORK=/tmp/go-build159155876
mkdir -p $WORK/github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3/_obj/
mkdir -p $WORK/github.com/mattn/

./sqlite3.c:347 macro redefined: SQLITE_PTR_TO_INT
too many errors

On the other hand when I try to cross compile with CGO_ENABLED=1 I got the hardcoded message

$ CGO_ENABLED=1 GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go install -x
WORK=/tmp/go-build587075426
mkdir -p $WORK/runtime/cgo/_obj/
mkdir -p $WORK/runtime/
go build runtime/cgo: cannot use cgo when compiling for a different operating system

You can find it in the go build tool source:

[~/go/src]
iron4o$ search 'cannot use cgo when compiling for a different operating system'
cmd/go/build.go-    if goos != toolGOOS {
cmd/go/build.go:        return nil, nil, errors.New("cannot use cgo when compiling for a different operating system")
cmd/go/build.go-    }

I am thinking of removing this and rebuilding my go tools :D But that will be left for later.

[elgs]

@ironsmile WOW, what a hack you are going to do!
Now I think it's reasonable that by the nature of C, it might be not that easy to compile a Windows executable from a Mac, or Linux.

[mattn]

@elgs Are you compiling windows executable!?

[mitchellhuang]

Yeah I'm also having the same issue... nothing seems to be working. I tried this
https://gist.github.com/steeve/6905542 and it still didn't compile.

[chr4]

Having the same issue with cross-building on osx for linux amd64
