question about deprecation of this tool and alternative

Hello,

You post a comment on some other issue saying gonative should be considered as deprecated

gonative is very, very old and almost certainly no longer necessary or the right way to do whatever it is that you're trying to do. i no longer use it and you should consider it a deprecated tool.

For my information, what are you using now for having a cross compiling toolchain ? Or what is the right way to do ?

[inconshreveable]

The native Go toolchain supports cross-compilation sufficiently well for all of the usecases I need now.

[inconshreveable]

what is it exactly that you're trying to do?

[StudioEtrange]

2 years ago, I wrote simple scripts to cross compile go applications
i.e : ngrok go application built on multi platform : https://github.com/StudioEtrange/ngrok-build

I digged into the problem of cross compiling and I read your article here :
https://inconshreveable.com/04-30-2014/cross-compiling-golang-programs-with-native-libraries/
So I used gonative+gox by first installing go1.4 binaries

And everything fall apart with macos sierra/go1.4 bug.

But anyway,
It seems that your article is not relevant anymore if I understand you well ?

[inconshreveable]

yes, that's correct, for the most part it's not relevant anymore. there are still a few cases where that might matter to you, but they're even more rare than before and very likely not relevant to your use of ngrok

Ok
Thank you
