Hi, Great questions, thanks!
1. We can bundle in the libraries for Windows and for macOS - but on linux probably not (unless your app is LGPL/GPL due to a licensing issue that I have not found a better solution to). But distribution on Linux it is normal to depend on external libraries :). There will be a tool included to package final binaries, but I have not got it to a satisfactory level to share yet. 2. Yes, we should be able to do cross-compilation using the standard Go tools. There is the usual challenge of enabling CGO for a GOOS build, but beyond that it should be OK. It's easier than, for example, andlabs UI as we are not linking to OS specific functionality, just the libefl abstraction. Point 2 may change over time - as we may wish to add certain OS abstraction directly which may make cross compilaton harder. What I was thinking about, however, was creating some app metadata format and a centralised build server to work around both build and package distribution issues... I hope that helps, Andrew On Sat, 6 Oct 2018 at 11:41 R Srinivasan <s...@srin.me> wrote: > 1.
