Hello experts, I'm currently using //go:generate with external and module-internal tools. All external tools are documented in tools.go:
// +build tools package main import ( _ "github.com/golang/mock/mockgen" _ "github.com/mjibson/esc" ) However, the existing setup has a couple of drawbacks: 1) I cannot do go install tools.go: tools.go:6:2: import "github.com/golang/mock/mockgen" is a program, not an importable package tools.go:7:2: import "github.com/mjibson/esc" is a program, not an importable package instead I need to duplicate each tool installation in the Makefile 2) The internal tools are currently not installed in invoked during build: //go:generate go run ../cmd/tools/decorate.go ... This fails during cross-build: GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm make go install github.com/mjibson/esc go install github.com/golang/mock/mockgen Generating embedded assets go generate ./... ... fork/exec /var/folders/pm/q2g_c0vn1hb414nqwdcsv4fm0000gn/T/go-build741389459/b001/exe/decorate: exec format error charger/evsewifi.go:57: running "go": exit status 1 fork/exec /var/folders/pm/q2g_c0vn1hb414nqwdcsv4fm0000gn/T/go-build892585922/b001/exe/decorate: exec format error meter/meter.go:16: running "go": exit status 1 I've looked at https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Build_constraints but couldn't find a description of best practices or even mention of +built tools.
