|
|
|
A high-performance cross compiler for Go
|
|
|
|
## Source code
|
|
|
|
You can find the source code here: [git.milar.in](https://git.milar.in/milarin/gocc)
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
If you have Go installed, you can simply go install the program: `go install git.milar.in/milarin/gocc@latest`
|
|
|
|
There are pre-compiled executables for various platforms on the [repository](https://git.milar.in/milarin/gocc/releases).

## Demo
|
|
|
|
[](https://asciinema.org/a/YOFZE4hskODO5TkNedyIBa4V8)
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
### Basic syntax
|
|
|
|
`gocc [<arguments>] [<module>]`
|
|
|
|
### Arguments
|
|
|
|
Using `--help` shows a description for all available arguments:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ gocc --help
|
|
Usage of ./gocc:
|
|
-arch string
|
|
comma-separated list of architectures to compile for (empty for all)
|
|
-c dont compress any executables
|
|
-f string
|
|
go template for filenames (default "{{.Name}}-{{.OS}}-{{.Arch}}{{.Ext}}")
|
|
-findconfig
|
|
print config file path and exit
|
|
-ignoreconfig
|
|
dont read any config file
|
|
-o string
|
|
output directory (default "output")
|
|
-os string
|
|
comma-separated list of operating systems to compile for (empty for all)
|
|
-s silent mode (no output)
|
|
-saveconfig
|
|
save config file with current configuration and exit
|
|
-t int
|
|
amount of threads (0 = infinite) (default 16)
|
|
-v show version and exit
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Providing a Go module
|
|
|
|
By default, `gocc` compiles the module in the current working directory.
|
|
You can provide a custom module path after all other arguments.
|
|
|
|
Example: `gocc -t 4 -ignoreconfig path/to/go/module`
|
|
|
|
#### Choosing Operating systems
|
|
|
|
You can decide, for which operating systems `gocc` should compile for via `-os`.
|
|
Provide the operating systems as a comma-separated list.
|
|
|
|
Example: `gocc -os "windows,linux"`
|
|
|
|
For a list of supported operating systems, run `go tool dist list`.
|
|
|
|
Providing no `-os` flag will compile for all available systems (without config file)
|
|
|
|
#### Choosing architectures
|
|
|
|
Analogous to operating systems, you can provide architectures via `-arch`.
|
|
|
|
Example: `gocc -arch "amd64,386"`
|
|
|
|
For a list of supported architectures, run `go tool dist list`.
|
|
|
|
Providing no `-arch` flag will compile for all available architectures (without config file)
|
|
|
|
#### Output path
|
|
|
|
By default, `gocc` will save all executables in the folder `output` in the current working directory.
|
|
You can set a custom path via `-o`
|
|
|
|
#### Disable compression
|
|
|
|
All executables will be compressed automatically if `upx` is found in `$PATH`.
|
|
This behavior can be disabled via `-c`.
|
|
|
|
#### Multithreaded compilation
|
|
|
|
Compilation is multi-threaded by default. You can set the amount of concurrent compilations via `-t <threads>`.
|
|
If no thread count is provided, the amount of CPU cores will be used.
|
|
(the default value shown with `--help` is always the amount of CPU cores on the current machine)
|
|
|
|
A thread count of `0` runs all tasks at the same time. This could lead to lags and freezes on your machine!
|
|
|
|
If you want to disable multi-threaded compilation, just use `-t 1`
|
|
|
|
#### Silent mode
|
|
|
|
Providing `-s` enables silent mode. When enabled, `gocc` will never show any output.
|
|
A non-zero exit code indicates errors.
|
|
|
|
#### Customize default behavior
|
|
|
|
You can change the default values of all other arguments with `-saveconfig`.
|
|
Simply provide all arguments as you like and save your config in a json file.
|
|
Next time `gocc` is run, the config file will be loaded and your preferred command line arguments will be automatically set.
|
|
|
|
You can still manually overwrite arguments by providing them directly.
|
|
But that will not always result in the default behavior if no config file exists.
|
|
For these cases you can use `-ignoreconfig`.
|
|
|
|
If you want to get rid of your config file or you want to edit it manually, you can find it by running `gocc -findconfig`
|
|
|
|
**No compilation will be done if `-saveconfig` is provided!**
|
|
|
|
**`-findconfig` does not work with silent mode (`-s`)!**
|
|
|
|
**Always use `-ignoreconfig` in scripts! You don't know what config file your user might have!**
|
|
|
|
#### Change executable filename pattern
|
|
|
|
You can provide a custom filename pattern for the compiled executables via `-f`.
|
|
The value feeded into `-f` is a Go template.
|
|
See the official Go docs for [Go templates](https://pkg.go.dev/text/template) for more information.
|
|
|
|
The following values are available inside the template:
|
|
- `Name`: the module name
|
|
- `OS`: the operating system
|
|
- `Arch`: the architecture
|
|
- `Ext`: the file extension (for windows: `.exe`, for any other operating system: ``)
|
|
|
|
The default value is `{{.Name}}-{{.OS}}-{{.Arch}}{{.Ext}}` |
