rm -rf /: Install Google GO

Tuesday, November 17, 2009

To install the Google's GO on Ubuntu Karmic

vim ~/.bashrc && exit (or open a new terminal or . ~/.bashrc)

Add these lines into it:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export GOARCH=386
export GOOS=linux
export GOBIN=$HOME/bin
export PATH=$GOBIN:$PATH

The last two are not listed on the GO site, but I needed them to compile.

mkdir ~/bin && chmod 755 ~/bin && . ~/.bashrc
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools python-dev
sudo apt-get install mercurial

To pull the Go source

hg -v clone -r release https://go.googlecode.com/hg/ $GOROOT
sudo apt-get install bison gcc libc6-dev ed make
cd $GOROOT/src && ./all.bash

Happened to visit your blog when searching something on google.

Good the way you described the term "Hacking". It would have been great had you also pointed the reference to real source of this definition (Hacking the Art of Exploitation by Jon Erricson).

None the less, good job man :)
Keep it up. Just felt like commenting, hope that does not offend you :); December 22, 2009 6:51 PM
