Installing Google Go on Ubuntu 9.10 x86

This is for x86 processors. You need to change the 386 to amd64 if that's your chip architecture.

First create a bin directory in your home directory if you don't have one already:

mkdir $HOME/bin

Then edit your .bashrc file and add:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export GOOS=linux
export GOARCH=386
export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

Then reread your bashrc file:

source .bashrc

You'll need some packages installed to build it:

sudo apt-get install bison gcc libc6-dev mercurial

Now check out the code and build it:

hg clone -r release https://go.googlecode.com/hg/ $GOROOT

cd $GOROOT/src
./all.bash

That's it.

One of my laptops that gets heavy use is a very old IMB T41. It's currently getting upgraded to the first BETA release of Ubuntu 8.04.

I'll follow up with some thoughts on how it works after it's finished.

Read. Mull, then act:

A few weeks ago I joined Wamily as Rails Developer, Linux/scaling expert and apparently the oldest member of the team. Sheesh, the oldest at 31.

Anyway, we’re working making Wamily THE place your groups meetup to discuss, share and keep track of what’s going on.

Stay tuned…
