[9fans] GO Programming Environment in Plan 9.

[9fans] GO Programming Environment in Plan 9.

[Mats Olsson]

Hi guys!

Does anyone use Plan 9 as platform for Go programming? If so, How is
your setup (remember that I'm a noob to Plan 9 so in layman terms
please)? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Mats

I am not sure I understand the question. Programming in Go on Plan 9
is almost the same as programming in Go in Unix. The "setup" is the
same.

I *think* the commands would go something like this (untested):

hget https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.3.3.src.tar.gz > go.tgz
tar xf go.tgz
cd go/src
all.rc

Hi guys!

The thing is that I've been fooling around with Plan 9 for like 7
weeks (a real noob then) and then I read about programming in Go and
found that interesting and worth trying out. So the crude fact is that
I haven't any knowledge about programming in Go more than what I've
just read (at the golang site etc.) but since the Go language seems to
be very apt for the Plan 9 OS I thought that maybe some Plan 9 fans
already have some experience and could give me a headstart in such a
project. Hope this explanation makes sense. Thanks for your input and
we'll see what happens.

Kind Regards,
Mats

are you using 9pi? if so, i don't think Go is available on plan9/arm yet.

Yes, I'm using 9pi. OK. Thanks!

Just googled and found: https://code.google.com/p/go-wiki/wiki/GoArm

So it seems that it's supported.

read the supported operating systems section:

"Go supports ARM on Linux. You must be running a EABI kernel.

so not even all linux.

go on arm only supports Linux, Freebsd, Netbsd, nacl and Darwin
(unofficial).

plan 9 is not on the list (yet).

By my estimate, it would be a few days work. Even less
after some simplifying changes I want to make to the
runtime and syscall packages (like removing superfluous
differences between 386 and amd64, etc.).

We're all just waiting for the tree to open up again.

If someone volunteers to run a plan9/arm builder, I'll
do the port and have it in by the 1.5 release. ☺

Cheers,
  Anthony

i thought that was the promise of dcs -- you don't have to wait.
where did this whole thing fail?

Well, I really meant we're waiting for the point in the
development schedule that allows new code to be up for
review.

Of course, we can (and do) develop on personal branches.

Hi David!

I have several Raspberry Pi's and I'm kind of doing a research of what
can be done on this platform when it comes to programming etc.
Preferable in Plan 9 OS. I'm certain that there are lots of other
options but I'm focusing on the use of the Raspberry Pi as a hardware
platform.

Kind Regards,
Mats

I think I can run an plan9/arm builder. What board do you want?

Re: [9fans] GO Programming Environment in Plan 9.

[Mats Olsson]

The following quote from GoArm makes me believe it can be done on a RPi:

Supported operating systems

Go supports ARM on Linux. You must be running a EABI kernel. These are
generally known as armel for softfloat (compatible with ARMv5) or
armhf for hardware floating point (ARMv6 and above).

Yes. ARMv5, ARMv6 and ARMv7 are supported. But maybe something
faster than a Raspberry Pi would be better.

My Sheevaplug has died on me and the Olimex Olinuxino is a bit
underpowered.  I'm not sure if either will ever be viable.

Olimex have some exciting new hardware coming up, but a builder is a
bit of a tall order on ARM.

Ideally, I should use my Galaxy S5, that's where the power really lies
:-(
