goxc is a build tool for Go focused on cross-compiling binaries to multiple platforms, packaging them as zips, tarballs, or .debs, and generating a markdown downloads page. It also supports uploading artifacts to GitHub Releases or Bintray.
Use cases
- cross-compile a go program for all platforms at once
- package go binaries into zips and debs
- upload go release artifacts to github releases
- generate a downloads page for go project releases
- automate repeatable go builds with json config
When to choose
- you need to package and distribute go binaries for multiple OSes with debs or archives
- you want automated uploads to github releases or bintray
When to avoid
- you only need simple cross-compilation, since Go 1.5+ supports it natively via GOOS/GOARCH
- you need an actively maintained tool - goxc is in maintenance mode with no recent development
