I've installed the go 1.9 binary distribution on my windows 10 laptop. I just let the install do the defaults. (in addition to learning go, I'm trying to see if I can live with bash under Windows, or if I have to reboot to a linux distro to avoid going crazy, that is a separate topic)
in the cmd shell 'go build' works, but creates a file go.exe that when run, displays hello world it does not create the expected hello.exe in the bash shell, 'go build' does not work, it whines that 'go' is not a program The program 'go' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install gccgo-go but 'go.exe build' does create a local go.exe which executes and displays the expected hello world. Which raises a couple of questions: 1) is the standard documentation wrong/out of date? 2) how do I get the go build process to create a hello.exe rather than go.exe? 3) how do I get the bash shell to let me just type 'go build' like we all want? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
