This page will help you through to setting up and building the Go compiler for the Haiku Operating System.

Requirements:

  • Intel CPU (AMD PCs are untested)
  • 2GB of RAM or higher
  • 64 Bit Haiku Beta Nightly (hrev53136 or greater)
  • GCC 6+ / Clang 5.0.0+
  • Git

Note: 32 bit Haiku is not supported yet, but it is planned in the future.

If you are using a system that is in between hrev53136-hrev53600 this commit then you must compile Go with DISABLE_ASLR=1 due to a memory limitation in the system allocator. If a new version of Haiku with a new allocator, overcomes the hoard2 allocator limitations, then this environment variable will not required.

Building

First, clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/golang-haiku/go-1.4.3

If you don't want the full history add --depth=1 without the quotes to shallow clone to the latest commit.

Next, go into the 'src' folder.

cd go-1.4.3/src

To start the build, run this command:

./make.bash

If you see this message:

Installed Go for haiku/amd64 in /boot/home/go1.4.3
Installed commands in /boot/home/go1.4.3-upstream/bin

Then Go has successfully been built on your system!
