xgo is a Docker-based Go CGO cross compiler that bundles Go toolchains, C cross compilers, and platform headers/libraries into a single container. It lets developers cross-compile Go packages with embedded C/C++ code to multiple platforms and architectures via a single command.

Use cases

  • cross compile go code with cgo to android, ios, darwin and windows
  • build go binaries for multiple architectures from one machine
  • avoid setting up separate build environments for cgo cross compilation
  • compile go packages using native platform libraries like DNS resolution
  • produce multi-platform release binaries for a go project

When to avoid

  • you only compile pure Go code without CGO dependencies
  • you cannot or do not want to use Docker
  • you need actively maintained tooling with the latest Go versions
